L'attacco all'Iran è molto più di un conflitto regionale. È un attacco diretto al mondo multipolare che sta nascendo. Perché Teheran è nel mirino? Perché rappresenta una delle ultime resistenze all'egemonia unipolare: è nei BRICS, ha scelto l'autonomia strategica, dice no al ricatto occidentale. Colpire l'Iran significa inviare un messaggio a tutto il Sud globale: "L'indipendenza si paga". Significa svuotare la Carta ONU e trasformare la sovranità in un privilegio revocabile. Difendere l'Iran oggi significa difendere un principio: un mondo in cui nessuna potenza possa riscrivere da sola le regole della convivenza internazionale. La multipolarità non è un'astrazione. Si costruisce difendendo chi resiste alla legge del più forte. #Iran#Multipolarismo#BRICS#Sovranità#StopAllaGuerra https://www.marx21.it/internazionale/lattacco-alliran-rappresenta-un-attacco-al-mondo-multipolare/

🇷🇺🇮🇳 The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putinpresented the Order of St Andrew the Apostle to Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. The ceremony was held in St Andrew’s Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace. 💬 Vladimir Putin: It is a great honour for me to present the highest order of the Russian Federation, the Order of St Andrew the Apostle, to Prime Minister of the Republic of India Narendra Modi. 🎖 It is the oldest order instituted more than three centuries ago by Russian Emperor Peter the Great. According to the statute, the order is awarded to outstanding Russian politicians and public figures as well as foreign leaders for distinguished service. <...> By presenting the Order of St Andrew the Apostle, we express sincere gratitude for the contribution you have made to strengthening friendship and mutual understanding between our countries and nations. You have always been a strong advocate of expanding contacts with Russia. Back when you were the chief minister of the state of Gujarat, you proposed establishing sister ties with Russian regions, in particular, with the Astrakhan Region. 🤝 As the head of the Indian government for the past ten years, you have made tangible efforts to ensure that Russia-India relations become a specially privileged strategic partnership. It is with your direct support that largest Russia-India projects have been implemented successfully in trade and the economy, in the military-technical industry, nuclear and hydrogen energy, in high technology and space development. It is hard to overestimate your contribution to shaping a steady foundation for Russia-India cooperation in the international arena, where both our countries protect the principles of multipolarity and strict compliance with international law. 🌐 Russia and India work together to ensure stability and global and regional security, and closely cooperate at #BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (#SCO).

📺 Remarks by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the General Debate of 80th Session of the UN General Assembly. Key points (Unofficial translation): • 80 years ago the most terrible war in human history came to an end. More than 70 million people fell victim to hostilities, hunger and disease. In 1945 the course of world history changed forever. We hold sacred the memory of brotherhood-in-arms with all Allies who then stood on the side of truth in the struggle against the forces of evil. • #UNCharterIsOurRules The principles and the Charter agreed upon by the founding fathers of our Organization still serve as a bright beacon for international cooperation. • We advocate for the unconditional observance of the principle of equality. In it lies the guarantee that all countries can take their rightful place in world affairs, regardless of their military power, population size, territory or economy. • Russia strongly condemned the Hamas militants’ attack on peaceful Israelis on October 7, 2023. However, there is no justification for the brutal killing of Palestinian civilians, just as there is no justification for terrorism. • The Arabic language is not banned in Israel, nor is Hebrew in Arab countries or Iran – but the Russian language is banned in Ukraine. Let me recall that Article 1 of the Charter speaks of the need to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion. Europe remains silent, obsessed with the utopian goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia. • The rights of Russians and Russian-speaking people in the territories still under the control of the Kiev regime must be fully restored. On this basis we are ready to discuss the security guarantees for Ukraine. • Russia and the US bear a special responsibility for world affairs, for avoiding risks that could plunge humanity into a new war. • The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (#SCO) and #BRICS play a special role as mechanisms for coordination of countries of the Global South and East. • NATO is already cramped in Europe, and it is expanding into the Pacific Ocean, the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, undermining the universal ASEAN mechanisms and creating threats not only to China and Russia but also to other countries in the region. • Speaking of the future, we must not forget the lessons of the past – especially when Nazism is once again raising its head in Europe, militarization is gaining momentum under the same anti-Russian slogans. This causes particular concern given that a number of political figures, now in power in Brussels and certain EU and NATO capitals, seriously discuss World War III as a possible scenario. • We call on member states and the Secretariat’s leadership to scrupulously follow all the Charter’s principles – without exception and without double standards. Then the legacy of the UN’s founding fathers will not be wasted. Watch / Read — English subs included 👆

#EEUU quiere reformar el #FMI y el #BM para competir contra el banco de los #BRICS y el banco asiático de desarrollo impulsado por #China «Hay momento político para que se produzca una reforma de calado. Mientras que el anterior presidente del Banco Mundial, David Malpass, elegido por Donald Trump, fue acusado de ser un negacionista del cambio climático y por eso dimitió, el nuevo, Ajay Banga, propuesto por Biden, parece que viene dispuesto a modernizar la institución. A finales de junio, además, se celebró en París una cumbre para lograr un nuevo pacto global para las finanzas, de la mano de Emmanuel Macron y Mia Mottley, la primera ministra de Barbados, uno de los países más amenazados por el cambio climático, y lideresa del sur global para la reforma del Banco Mundial» «Por su parte, India, un país con peso creciente en las relaciones internacionales y que en el 2023 regenta la presidencia del G-20, también considera este tema una de sus prioridades y le ha pedido a un grupo de expertos liderado por los prestigiosos economistas, Larry Summers y N.K. Singh, que presente un informe sobre las reformas. Este estudio, que tiene dos partes, una presentada en julio y la otra en octubre, servirá de base para la cumbre de jefes de Estado y de Gobierno del G-20 en septiembre, cuyo posible acuerdo se revisará en las reuniones de otoño del Banco Mundial y del FMI y se rematará en sus últimos detalles por la COP28 a finales del 2023. Las expectativas son, por lo tanto, altas» https://www.lavanguardia.com/internacional/vanguardia-dossier/revista/20231026/9274673/competencia-china-banco-mundial.html

#Announcement 🗓 On February 6, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is scheduled to hold talks in Moscow with OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Federal Councillor of the Swiss Confederation Ignazio Cassis and OSCE Secretary General Feridun Sinirlioglu (Türkiye). Sergey Lavrov’s previous meeting with Ignazio Cassis and Feridun Sinirlioglu took place in New York in September 2025 on the sidelines of the high-level week as part of the High-Level Week of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly. Elected by the organisation’s members for one calendar year, the OSCE’s chairship-in-office is tasked with: • coordinating the activities and holding consultations on current matters, • appointing the heads of field missions and special representatives on conflicts and various issues, • holding meetings of the OSCE’s decision-making bodies and other events. The country assuming the OSCE chairmanship must focus on consensus-based approaches and take into account the diversity of opinions as expressed by member states as well as strictly adhere to the mandate of the chairship as set out in the decision of the 2002 OSCE Ministerial Council meeting in Porto titled “The role of the OSCE chairmanship-in-office” and the Permanent Council Decision No. 845 dated 2002 titled “OSCE statements and public information.” Considering the current situation within the OSCE, it can hardly play any role in ensuring security within the new multipolar world order. There is no doubt that the OSCE could benefit from taking into account the experience of associations such as the #SCO, #BRICS and the #CIS, where countries have been guided by the principles of equality and mutual support. The talks will focus on overcoming the deep crisis the OSCE is currently experiencing. It results from the destructive actions by some Western countries, who have been seeking to exploit the OSCE in the pursuit of their vested interests, including by unleashing an anti-Russian hysteria. Finland was proactive in encouraging this posture during its chairmanship-in-office in 2025. It failed to fulfil its mandate as an honest broker. In particular, nothing was done to bring the three security dimensions – politico-military, economic and environmental, and humanitarian – back to normal. There has been virtually no progress along these tracks since 2022 which is attributable to an almost total Ukrainisation of the OSCE agenda. 🇷🇺Russia intends to discuss the prospects for addressing the existing problems while respecting the interests of all the participating countries. <...> During the meeting, participants will pay special attention to the OSCE’s economic and environmental dimension, which is designed to harmonise the interests of the participating states in the corresponding sectors. Russia will stress that it is unacceptable to use tools pertaining to the second basket when assessing environmental damage in Ukraine and promoting manifestly confrontational positions such as subjecting climate-related matters to the security agenda. <...> The Foreign Minister will focus on the most recent issues within the OSCE space, i.e., countering the manifestations of neo-Nazism, preventing the falsification of history and media censorship, defending traditional values, the rights of believers and ethnic minorities. Sergey Lavrov also intends to point out there has been a tendency for over three years now to replace OSCE’s key events, including the Humanitarian Segment of the OSCE Review Conference, with formats operating outside of the consensus rule. <...> Russia will draw the Chairperson-in-Office’s attention to the need to address Russia’s obvious underrepresentation in senior political roles within the OSCE, as well as the need to ensure that Russian candidates are treated in an impartial manner.

📰Interview de la Directrice du département du partenariat avec l'Afrique du MAE russe, Tatiana Dovgalenko, avec New Eastern Outlook(19 mai 2025) Points clés : • Les relations russo-africaines connaissent une renaissance après une période d’oubli suite à la dissolution de l’URSS et traversent unetransformation qualitative. • Notre travail s’articule autour du vaste Plan d’action 2023-2026 du Forum de partenariat Russie-Afrique, approuvé au plus haut niveau. • Notre aspiration commune à une souveraineté authentique, à la justice et à un ordre mondial plus démocratique [...] constitue une constante immuable des relations russo-africaines. • Nous prévoyons également de renforcerl’institutionnalisationde nos relations avec la CAE, l'IGAD, le COMESA, la SADC, la CEDEAO, et la CEEAC. Bien entendu, cette liste n’est pas exhaustive. • Il est important que les partenaires africains considèrent la Russie comme l’un des leadersdu système polycentrique émergent des relations internationales. • L’expansion de notre réseau de missions diplomatiques constitue la preuve tangible de notre retour en Afrique et de l’ampleur de nos projets de développement des relations avec les pays du continent. • La Russie œuvre de manière constante au renforcement du rôle du continent africain dans un monde multipolaire. • Grâce à l’action déterminante de la Russie, l’Union africaine a obtenu en septembre 2023 le statut de membre permanent du #G20, renforçant ainsi considérablement la voix collective de l’Afrique sur la scène mondiale. • L’intérêt des États africains pour les #BRICSne cesse de croître. À ce jour, l’Afrique du Sud, l’Égypte et l’Éthiopie en sont membres à part entière, tandis que le Nigeria et l’Ouganda ont rejoint le groupe en janvier dernier en tant que pays partenaires. • En Afrique, on comprend parfaitement les causes profondes de la crise ukrainienne et le rôle de l’Occident dans son déclenchement. • Le non-alignement aux sanctions contre la Russie démontre clairement la position souveraine et ferme de nos partenaires africains, qui n’ont pas cédé à la pression occidentale et ont opté pour des relations constructives avec la Russie. • L’Afrique n’est pas une arène de rivalité géopolitique, mais un espace de coopération mutuellement bénéfique – à condition que celle-ci se développe dans un cadre strictement égalitaire et respectueux. • En 2024, les exportations russes de produits agricoles vers l’Afrique ont augmenté de près de 20%, dépassant 7 milliards de dollars américains et atteignant 45 pays du continent. • Les opérateurs économiques russes ne manifestent pas seulement un intérêt, mais travaillent depuis longtemps avec succès dans divers secteurs clés des économies africaines : industrie pétrolière et gazière, énergie nucléaire, industrie chimique, construction de matériel de transport, prospection géologique, extraction minière, agriculture et pêche. • Le projet russe le plus ambitieux et emblématique en Afrique reste la construction par Rosatom de la centrale nucléaire d’El-Dabaa, la plus grande du continent. La société Alrosa mène depuis des années des activités d’exploration et d’extraction de diamants en Angola et au Zimbabwe. Rusal exploite des gisements de bauxite et d'alumine en Guinée. Lukoil développe des projets pétroliers en Égypte, au Cameroun, au Ghana, au Nigeria et en République du Congo. On notera également l’activité dynamique de Yandex en Afrique avec son service numérique de réservation de taxi Yango. • Nos universités accueillent plus de 32 000 étudiants africains, dont plus de 8 000 bénéficient de places financées par l’État. Depuis 2022, le quota de bourses pour l’Afrique a plus que doublé, atteignant 4 800 places. • Nos partenaires africains manifestent un vif intérêt pour plusieurs axes de coopération : la lutte contre les maladies infectieuses et non transmissibles, la formation initiale et continue du personnel médical, l’approvisionnement en médicaments et dispositifs médicaux russes. 🔎À lire en intégralité ici #RussieAfrique
