🇷🇺🇰🇬Statement by President Vladimir Putin to the press following the Russian-Kyrgyz talkswith President Sadyr Japarov(November 26, 2025, Bishkek) Following the talks, a signing ceremony was held where a number of bilateral documents were inked, including a Joint Statement by the Presidents on deepening relations of alliance and strategic partnership. 💬Vladimir Putin: I would once again like to thank the President of Kyrgyzstan for the invitation, and all our Kyrgyz colleagues for their hospitality and warm reception. I agree with my counterpart - today’s talks were highly productive and proceeded in a constructive spirit. All of this clearly reflects the genuinely friendly and good-neighbourly nature of relations between Russia and Kyrgyzstan. We held a detailed discussion of the entire range of issues on the bilateral agenda and exchanged views on pressing regional matters. Priority attention during the talks was devoted to further developing economic cooperation. Last year, bilateral trade reached a new record, exceeding four billion dollars. This year, mutual trade flows have continued to grow at a solid pace – around 17%. This is a good result. Russia is among the leading investors in the Kyrgyz economy. Russian capital investment has now accumulated to nearly two billion dollars. About 1,700 business entities with Russian participation operate in Kyrgyzstan in key sectors such as energy, mining, agriculture, transport and logistics. All of this has become possible thanks to the confident domestic policy pursued by the President of Kyrgyzstan and the stability within the country. Our nations cooperate closely within the Eurasian Economic Union. Together with the other member states, we are creating common markets for goods, services, capital and labour. The development of Eurasian integration yields indisputable dividends for all the member states, including Kyrgyzstan. For example, in the ten years since the Republic joined the #EAEU, its GDP has increased two and a half times, and exports to other EAEU countries have quadrupled. Energy is one of the most important areas of Russian-Kyrgyz cooperation. Russia fully meets Kyrgyzstan’s needs for petrol and diesel, on preferential terms and without export duties, which provides a direct economic benefit to the Republic. Russian-Kyrgyz humanitarian cooperation traditionally has an intensive and multifaceted character. Ties between the citizens of our countries continue to grow and expand. Russia and Kyrgyzstan work closely together in the fields of culture, sports, public and youth organizations, and, of course, education. More than 10,000 Kyrgyz students study in Russia, and, as the President has just noted, half of them on a budgetary basis. It is also gratifying that in Kyrgyzstan, together with Russia, the Russian language is used freely and has official status under the Constitution. We value this highly. Its use in various spheres of life is actively supported by the country’s leadership. Naturally, we held a substantive discussion on expanding bilateral cooperation in the military and military-technical sphere, and outlined plans for joint efforts to counter terrorism and extremism, drug trafficking and organized crime. Both Sides noted that the joint Russian military base deployed in Kyrgyzstan makes a significant contribution to strengthening the Republic’s defence capability and, in general, to ensuring security and stability throughout Central Asia. When reviewing current foreign-policy issues, we noted the close, and in many areas identical, alignment of our approaches approaches. Our countries coordinate positions in multilateral formats, including the #UN, the #SCO and the #CIS. 🤝 In conclusion, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our Kyrgyz friends and to the President for the constructive and productive talks. I am confident that this visit and our negotiations will contribute to the further development of the multifaceted Russian-Kyrgyz relationship for the benefit of our peoples and our countries.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks during the 9th Ministerial Meeting of Russia and Central Asia (Moscow, April 17, 2026) 💬Sergey Lavrov: I am pleased to welcome you to Moscow. We began our joint work yesterday at the CIS Foreign Ministers Council, and today we are holding the ninth meeting of Foreign Ministers of Russia and Central Asia. This in itself underscores the relevance of this six-party dialogue mechanism. In our view, it is developing successfully and dynamically, to the benefit of all participants. In October 2025, the Second Russia – Central Asia Summit was held in the welcoming city of Dushanbe. During the summit, our leaders approved a Joint Action Plan for 2025-2027 and put forward a number of important initiatives. Our task now is to translate these decisions into concrete steps. The Action Plan serves as a framework document, outlining the key areas of our cooperation: trade, economic and investment ties, transport, energy, healthcare, environmental protection, security, cultural and humanitarian engagement, and migration. Specific projects and initiatives are currently being developed within the six-party working groups established by the relevant agencies of Russia and your countries. As we noted today during the #CIS meeting, our relations are grounded in equality, mutual respect, and careful consideration of each other’s interests. They truly deserve the highest recognition as an example of a modern and forward-looking model of international partnership. Our leaders maintain close and regular communication, both bilaterally and within integration frameworks such as the #CIS, the #EAEU, the #CSTO, and the #SCO. Active contacts are also sustained among heads of government, deputy prime ministers, and the leadership of parliaments, ministries, and agencies. Despite the current geopolitical turbulence – which we examined in detail during today’s CIS meetings – we have succeeded in maintaining a consistently high level of trade turnover. In 2025, it continued to grow, approaching the $50 billion mark. As I have already noted, cultural and humanitarian cooperation continues to develop. Through our joint efforts, and at the initiative of President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev,the International Organisation of the Russian Language was established. The Russian language remains a key means of communication not only between Russia and the Central Asian states, but also among the peoples of the broader post-Soviet space. Our approaches to international issues are closely aligned and, in most cases, coincide. We greatly appreciatethat, despite unprecedented external pressure, the Central Asian countries remain committed to their allied obligations, thereby contributing to the dynamic development of our friendly and mutually beneficial relations, both bilaterally and within multilateral frameworks, including the Russia – Central Asia mechanism. I hope that today we will be able to make a tangible contribution to the implementation of the decisions adopted at the second Russia – Central Asia Summit in Dushanbe.

🎙 Fjalimi dhe përgjigjet e pyetjeve të Ministrit të Punëve të Jashtme të Federatës Ruse S.V.Lavrov gjatë “orës së qeverisë” në Dumën e Shtetit (Moskë, 19 shkurt 2025) 💬 S.V.Lavrov: Detyra kryesore e shërbimit tonë diplomatik ishte dhe mbetet, siç parashikohet në të gjitha versionet e Konceptit të Politikës së Jashtme (përfshirë atë më të fundit të datës 31 mars 2023), të promovojë krijimin e kushteve të jashtme të favorshme, të sigurta për të garantuar zhvillimin progresiv të vendit tonë, sovranitetin e tij ekonomik dhe teknologjik dhe rritjen e mirëqenies dhe cilësisë së jetës së qytetarëve rusë. <...> 🌐 Lëvizja kryesore në fazën aktuale mbetet lëvizja drejt një rendi botëror shumëpolar. Ky është një proces historik në shkallë, i shoqëruar me tendenca objektive të shfaqjes në hartën botërore të qendrave të reja të pushtetit nga vendet e Shumicës Botërore. <...> 🤝 Ndër prioritetet tona rajonale është forcimi i “brezit të fqinjësisë së mirë” përmes integrimit të qëndrueshëm me fqinjët tanë dhe ruajtjen e stabilitetit në Euroazinë e Madhe. Ne po e zgjidhim këtë problem si në baza dypalëshe me shtetet përkatëse, ashtu edhe në kuadër të strukturave të tilla si #CSTO, #CIS, #EAEU, #SCO dhe struktura të tjera shumëpalëshe. Më 14 korrik 2023, Presidenti V.V.Putin, gjatë fjalimit në Ministrinë e Punëve të Jashtme, paraqiti një iniciativë strategjike të krijimit të një arkitekture sigurie euroaziatike për të zëvendësuar modelin e falimentuar euro-atlantik. Arkitektura euroaziatike do të jetë e hapur për të gjitha shtetet e bashkimit të të gjithë kontinentit tonë, përfshirë edhe pjesën evropiane të tij. Ne besojmë se të gjithë duhet të kenë mundësinë të kontribuojnë në mirëqenien e një kontinenti të përbashkët dhe të vetëm. Më i madhi, më i populluari dhe, ndoshta, më premtuesi për sa i përket zhvillimit ekonomik. Ky vit shënohet me 80 vjetorin e Fitores së Madhe dhe 80 vjetorin e krijimit të OKB-së. Si më parë, ne do t'i kushtojmë vëmendje të vazhdueshme bashkimit të përpjekjeve ndërkombëtare për të luftuar çdo manifestim të neo-nazizmit, rusofobisë dhe formave të tjera të intolerancës racore dhe fetare. <...> ❗️ Nënvizoj se linja e politikës së jashtme e miratuar nga Presidenti i Federatës Ruse V.V.Putin ka një natyrë afatgjatë, strategjike. Ajo nuk i nënshtrohet konjiunkturës së brendshme politike dhe nuk varet nga tekat e keqbërësve tanë. Lexoni të plotë

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement at a meeting of the Council of the #CSTO Parliamentary Assembly (Moscow, April 20, 2026) 💬 On January 1, 2026, Russia assumed the chairmanship of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation. Our tenure proceeds under the motto, Collective Security in a Multipolar World: Common Goal, Shared Responsibility. In collaboration with our allies within the CSTO, we are intensifying efforts to uphold shared approaches to resolving international security issues. Much has already been articulated on this subject today. The foundational documents of the Organisation – and I wish to underscore this with particular emphasis – enshrine the principles of peaceful coexistence among states, the primacy of political and diplomatic methods of resolution, and adherence to the norms of international law, with the United Nations playing a central role. I consider it of fundamental importance that, in the current period, as the West resorts more frequently and extensively to illegitimate use of force, neocolonial methods of diktat, and outright plunder, the CSTO countries are neither altering nor revising the aforementioned goals of their activities. We will not deviate from the universal norms of international law. On the contrary, we will counter attempts to undermine them and oppose efforts to impose lawlessness in global affairs, whilst upholding the universal norms of international law, above all the sovereign equality of states, as enshrined in the UN Charter. <...> The Collective Security Treaty Organisation has established itself as an authoritative association of allied states whose activities are not directed against anyone, contain no aggressive aspirations, and are built exclusively in the interests of maintaining regional stability and the well-being of its member countries. <...> Russia maintains continuity in advancing the principal vectors of our collaboration within the CSTO. We continue our work to implement the initiatives of the preceding chairmanship – that of the Kyrgyz Republic. Our goal is to preserve the truth concerning our common struggle to liberate the world from Nazism and to perpetuate the heroic feat of the Soviet people, who defended the independence of their native land and liberated Europe and the world from the brown plague. <...> We are continuing our course towards expanding our Organisation’s contacts with the Eurasian countries. Security in this geopolitical area and close interaction with integration associations within our shared space matters a lot to us. Anyone who has been closely following recent developments is aware that threats in Eurasia are significantly up which requires us to make additional efforts. <...> We must work with our closest neighbours and partners from the #CIS and the #SCO. The SCO has a substantial programme aimed at strengthening stability and security. Recently, the secretaries-general of the CSTO, the CIS, and the SCO approved a roadmap that provides for, among other things, holding joint conferences on security issues in Central Asia and Afghanistan in Moscow. <...> We attach great importance to strengthening the Organisation’s military component. The programme of our chairmanship which was presented by President Putin places emphasis on increasing the combat potential of the CSTO’s collective forces and equipping them with modern and interoperable weapons and military equipment. <...> We will pay special attention to the Organisation’s peacekeeping forces, including refining the regulatory framework governing CSTO participation in UN peacekeeping operations. <...> We are likewise focusing on strengthening cooperation in international information security. We intend to expand the toolset for jointly countering international terrorism and extremism, combatting terrorism financing, money laundering, drug trafficking, transnational organised crime, and illegal migration.

The mandate-reporting cycle will include meetings on the situation in Haiti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, West Africa and the Sahel region, Yemen, Cyprus, Colombia, Lebanon and Syria, as well as on the activities of the UN Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia. The mandates of the UN Integrated Office in Haiti, the UN Mission to Support the Hudaydah Agreement and the Security Council sanctions regime against the Central African Republic are scheduled for renewal. The agenda also includes discussions on implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2720 on the humanitarian mechanism for the Gaza Strip to be attended by the UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza Sigrid Kaag. 🇷🇺 The Russian Federation as a permanent member of the Security Council and a responsible participant in the international community, will traditionally make every effort to ensure a coherent and expeditious work of this agency. In this connection, Russia will urge its colleagues in the Security Council to seek common denominators, given due account of the interests of all the parties concerned.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at a joint meeting of the Collegiums of the Foreign Ministries of Russia and Belarus (Moscow, November 25, 2025) 💬 Today, we are looking back at the outgoing year, which marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, a sacred holiday for Belarusians and Russians. I would like to express my gratitude to our Belarusian allies for their consistently close cooperation and support in all our joint undertakings. Guided by the Programme of Coordinated Actions in Foreign Policy of the States Parties to the Treaty on the Establishment of the Union State for 2024-2026, we have closely cooperated within the framework of our common Eurasian associations, such as (in addition to the Union State) the #CSTO, the #EAEU, the #CIS, and the #SCO, as well as within #BRICS, the #UN, and the #OSCE. In all of these organisations, we act in solidarity on virtually all international issues. We are implementing important joint initiatives, including those aimed at strengthening security and stability in Eurasia. Diplomatic support of large-scale bilateral cooperation and integration processes within the Union State has remained our overriding priority. Undoubtedly, the Union State is a format that sets the tone for interaction across several areas. In accordance with the resolution adopted by the collegiums and instructions issued by the respective heads of state and government, we primarily focused on promoting cooperation within common integration entities, deepening ties among them, and expanding cooperation with the countries from the Global South. Likewise, we focused on coordinating our efforts on international legal issues, among them countering the West’s sanctions aggression, and other areas. <...> We have facilitated the dialogue between the EAEU and the SCO and BRICS, and the coordination of 2026-2030 EEC-ASEAN Cooperation Programme. We have started looking into the possibility of expanding CIS contacts with African organisations and established cooperation between the CSTO Secretariat and the AU Counter Terrorism Centre. As I mentioned earlier, we have jointly promoted on all international venues the initiative advanced by the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, on the development of the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century which aligns with the initiative put forward by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to form a new architecture of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia. <...> We have made significant efforts to expand international support for countering the practice of illegal unilateral sanctions. On the initiative of the Group of Friends in Defence of the UN Charter, of which Russia and Belarus are members and play an important role, the UN General Assembly adopted, in June, a resolution establishing the International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures. <...> The agenda of today’s meeting is quite extensive. We will begin by discussing issues related to the joint use of humanitarian policy tools, the promotion of traditional values, and the preservation of historical memory. We will then consider matters related to cooperation with friendly states and their associations, as well as our approaches to building relations with the countries whose governments pursue an openly unfriendly policy towards us. This will also include our relations with the organisations that deviate from their own founding principles, do not adhere to impartiality and equal distance, but instead seek to take predominantly pro-Western political positions. We will place special emphasis on sharing experience in foreign policy information support. Following the meeting, we plan to sign a Resolution of the collegiums and a Plan for inter-ministerial consultations for 2026. #RussiaBelarus
