🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions following the SCO Foreign Ministers Council meeting (Astana, May 21, 2024)
Key talking points:
▪️ At a group meeting of the heads of delegations with President of Kazakhstan and during the Ministerial Council meeting (https://t.me/MFARussia/20291), we expressed our deepest condolences and solidarity with the Iranian people, as well as confidence that Tehran will continue its foreign policy, including with regard to its active participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
• The #SCO remains one of the supporting pillars of the multipolar world order. It is well positioned to become a driving force behind transforming Eurasia into a single continental space of peace, stability, mutual trust and progress.
• Security can be reliably ensured only by the Eurasian countries themselves, without the intervention of extra-regional forces. We observe such attempts on the part of the United States, the European Union and NATO, which strive to assume responsibility for everything that happens in the region.
• We are all aware of the importance of intensifying the work of the SCO, considering its weight and role in Eurasia, and its partners, including the OSCE, the CIS, the EAEU, and ASEAN.
• Developing common approaches to ensuring Eurasian security and cooperation by the countries of this continent is a crucial goal. We underscored that the SCO could well catalyse these processes with the involvement of other partners in the region.
• The SCO has two observers and 14 dialogue partners. Recently, Laos and Algeria have applied for partner status. We discussed improving the efficiency of interaction with these countries within the SCO Plus format.
🇧🇾 Starting from the July summit, Belarus will become a full-fledged SCO member. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko will take part in all events of the Astana summit without exception. The Belarusian minister attended our discussion.
🇲🇳 Mongolia is the obvious next candidate for SCO membership.

📄Joint Statement of the Participants of the Roundtable "International Cooperation in the Field of Information Security"(Moscow, May 29, 2025)
We, the representatives of Russia, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cuba, DPRK, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Nicaragua and Venezuela 🇷🇺🇧🇾🇧🇫🇨🇺🇰🇵🇪🇬🇮🇷🇮🇶🇰🇬🇱🇦🇳🇮🇻🇪
Stand for a transparent and equitable system of international information security based on the principles of the UN Charter, respect for the sovereignty of states and non-interference in their internal affairs.
We welcome the adoption of the Convention against Cybercrime at the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly, which became the first universal agreement achieved within the United Nations to counter the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) for criminal purposes and constitutes a necessary legal framework for international cooperation in preventing and combating certain crimes committed by means of information and communications technology systems and in ensuring timely collection and sharing of evidence in electronic form of serious crimes.
We commend the work accomplished by the ad hoc Committee to elaborate a comprehensive international Convention on countering the use of ICTs for criminal purposes established on the initiative of Russia and chaired by Algeria, and encourage all States to work in close manner to finalize the Rules of Procedure of the Conference of the Parties at their earliest opportunity.
We invite all States to sign the document at the upcoming ceremony in Hanoi in 2025 and call upon States to continue their engagement in the negotiations in accordance with the UN General Assembly resolutions 74/247 and 75/282 to negotiate an additional draft protocol that would address additional cyber-enabled crimes. Our common goal is to forge cooperation between the competent authorities of States Parties at the earliest convenience in order to counter the use of ICTs for criminal purposes in a comprehensive manner.
We assume that the next step should be to develop within the United Nations universal agreements on other aspects of the international information security, including stability in the ICT sphere. It is important to continue substantive discussions on this issue within the framework of the United Nations and other relevant organizations. In this regard, we support the adoption at the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly of a final decision on the establishment of the Permanent Mechanism on #ICT Security in the context of international security based on the principle of consensus and the leading role of States to replace the Open-Ended Working Group on Security of and in the Use of Information and Communications Technologies 2021–2025.
We condemn the use of ICTs for purposes inconsistent with maintaining international peace and security. We call for the peaceful use of ICTs and the non-use of such technologies to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign States and destabilize the socio-political situation in other countries, as well as to violate national laws, including through low-orbit satellite communication systems and broadband Internet access.
🌐 We acknowledge the importance of strengthening international cooperation among States to ensure a solid and strong exchange of knowledge, expertise and best practices with an emphasis on building capacities of the developing countries in the field of ICT-security.
We reiterate the need for promotion, facilitation and provision of technical assistance, and transfer of technology for prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crimes committed through the use of ICTs.

During discussions on current issues related to the situation in the Asia Pacific Region, the Russian Minister emphasised the importance of efforts to build an open and indivisible architecture of Eurasian security as one of the foundations of the multipolar international order. Apart from #ASEAN, the #SCO and the #EAEU are making a contribution to its strengthening.

He reaffirmed Russia’s commitment to reinforcing ASEAN’s central role in the regional security system through the build-up of an equitable dialogue and practical interaction.
Participants in the EAS meeting discussed preparations for the 19th East Asia Summit scheduled to be held in Vientiane in October 2024. At previous summits, Russia proposed initiatives to create a regional epidemic response mechanism and to secure economic growth in the Asia Pacific Region by promoting tourism cooperation. Russia also suggested focusing on the development of remote territories as a possible option for long-term cooperation.
