#BRICS2024
🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin's remarks at the Plenary Session of the XVI BRICS Summit in the BRICS Plus/Outreach format (Kazan, October 24, 2024)
👉 In full
💬 Vladimir Putin: I am delighted to welcome all of you to the BRICS Plus/Outreach-format meeting. This inclusive platform has proven its worth by enabling the BRICS group participants to engage in a direct and open dialogue with their friends and partners. <...>
According to our agenda, we will discuss the most pressing issues the international community is facing today, including sustainable development, eradication of poverty, climate change adaptation, exchanging technology and knowledge, fighting terrorism and transborder crime.
We will focus particularly on the peaceful resolution of conflicts, certainly including a serious discussion of the deteriorating situation in the Middle East.
<...>
#MultipolarWorld
🌐 All our countries share similar aspirations, values and a vision of a new democratic world order that reflects cultural and civilisational diversity. We are confident that such a system should be guided by the universal principles of respect for the legitimate interests and sovereign choice of nations, respect for international law and a spirit of mutually beneficial, honest co-operation.
☝️ The transition to a more just international system is not easy. Its development is being hampered by forces whose thinking and actions continue to be aimed at dominating everything and everyone. Under the guise of a rule-based order they are imposing on the world, they are actually attempting to contain growing competition and prevent the independent development of countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America that they cannot control.
<...>
#MiddleEast
The current round of the Palestinian-Israeli confrontation is probably one of the most sanguinary in the long list of conflicts. Over 40,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed in the ongoing hostilities in the Gaza Strip. I would like to emphasise that we have always come out against the use of terrorist methods. <...>
Since the start of the escalation, we have joined forces with our BRICS and other partners to contribute to a settlement. <...>
I would like to repeat that the main condition for restoring peace and stability in the Palestinian territories is the realisation of the two-state formula approved by the UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions.
<...>
#EurasianSecurity
The countries represented in this room have immense opportunities and resources at their disposal and play a prominent role on the international stage. They have been using their standing to enhance global security and promote sustainable development around the world. <...>
Russia advocated the idea of creating an inclusive system of equitable and indivisible security for Eurasia free from any discrimination.
<...>
#UnitedNations
🇺🇳 The UN must retain its central role in efforts to maintain peace and security and facilitate sustainable and steady development.
To ensure the effective functioning of the UN in the future, we believe it is important to adapt its structures to the realities of the 21st century, expanding the representation of countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, including those whose leaders are present here, in the Security Council and other key international bodies.
An effort to reform UN development institutions and global financial structures has long been overdue. <...>
The founding fathers of the United Nations believed that its purpose was to enable nations to come together and agree on joint actions.

❗️ Russia, like all BRICS countries, is open to cooperation with all countries of the Global South and East to promote inclusive and sustainable development and ultimately build a better world.

This oasis is called Vadi Bani Khalid and is one of the main attractions of the country. The Vadi landscape is striking in its diversity: here you will find both green oases with palm trees, and arid canyons with colorful cliffs. Picturers palm groves, transparent lakes and hills made of soft, golden sand. This place seems to invite us to plunge into an oasis of calm and harmony with nature.
🇮🇷🇴🇲According to an Associated Press report, Iran and Oman will collect tolls from all ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz during the two‑week ceasefire.
✍️ Recall Oman’s stance during the treacherous American attacks on the port of Salalah. Oman position and congratulate for the elect of new Iran's supreme leader so infuriated Trump that he even insulted the Sultan of Oman. Among the Arab nations, Yemen (Sana’a government) and Oman stood on the right side and did not bet on the losing horse! The current state of the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan is a testament to the wisdom of Omani policy.

🇮🇷🤝🇴🇲 A new protocol has been finalized by Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz and has been communicated to the IRGC Navy for implementation. This new protocol is based on the assumptions that, firstly, Iran’s enemies have no right to use the strait, and secondly, Iran must secure and compensate for all damages it has suffered through the strait.
👉Oman has agreed to cooperate with Iran’s new protocol in the Strait of Hormuz.

🇮🇷🇴🇲Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters: The Salalah port incident is suspicious
🔹The spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya (PBUH), in response to the suspicious attack on Salalah port in Oman, said:
"The incident that occurred at Salalah port in the friendly, neighboring, and brotherly country of Oman appears very suspicious. The Islamic Republic of Iran is investigating this matter. The security and national sovereignty of Oman are respected by the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
✍️ As we have said before, Iran has no intention of attacking civilian sites, and if it did, human casualties and financial damages in Arab countries would be unimaginable. The attack on Oman, which is considered a friend of Iran, is also very suspicious. Salalah port is also very far from southern Iran in terms of distance, and there is a possibility that this port was attacked by American drones. The U.S. is under pressure and spares no action against Iran!

🇮🇷#Iran - 🇴🇲#Oman: Two alleged Iranian drones have struck Salalah Port in Oman, damaging port cranes. The Omani government has released a statement condemning the attack, stating that one port worker was “moderately injured.”
🇨🇳🇮🇷🇴🇲China urges Gulf states to unite against external interference amid widening conflict
China's foreign minister urged Gulf countries to unite to oppose external interference on March 2, after US-Israeli attacks on Iran triggered a widening conflict in the region.
China hoped that the Gulf states would strengthen unity and develop neighbourly friendship to "keep their future and destiny in their own hands", Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in a phone call with his Omani counterpart, according to a statement released by the ministry.
In a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on the same day, Wang said he believed that Iran could maintain national and social stability as well as attach importance to the legitimate concerns of its neighbours, a separate statement showed.

🇮🇷🎙Leader of Iran: The attacks in Oman and Turkey are not Iran's doing.
✉️ Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the Leader of Iran, stated in this year's Nowruz message:
"I point out that the attacks which took place in Turkey and Oman—both of which have good relations with us—against certain locations in these countries were by no means carried out by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic or any other forces of the Resistance Front. "This is a deception employed by the Zionist enemy using the false flag tactic" to sow discord between the Islamic Republic and its neighbors, and it may also occur in some other countries."
