#Outcomes2024 🎙Ishtiaq Hamdani, PTV World: Russia's maritime doctrine considers the Indian Ocean as a region of strategic interest. How can Pakistan use its relations with SCO and BRICS countries in line with this strategy to promote secure and mutually beneficial economic cooperation? What would you say about the current relations between Russia and Pakistan? 💬Sergey Lavrov: Relations are developing in an upward direction. This is the most positive period in many decades. There are a number of projects to restore what was created in the Soviet period for the Pakistani economy. ❗️There is mutual interest in practical cooperation in the fight against terrorism. Pakistan also suffers from it. The fight against terrorism requires joint efforts with your Afghan neighbors, with India, with all SCO members, because Central Asia, Afghanistan and Pakistan are used by "bad people" to plan and implement their criminal plans. The SCO has an anti-terrorist structure. It works well. There is an exchange of information. Taking into account the fact that the financing of terrorism is seriously linked to drug trafficking (a form of organized crime), for several years we have been promoting the initiative to create a single center to combat new threats, including terrorism, drug trafficking, organized crime and human trafficking. This year we will begin to implement such a decision. I would like to emphasize that all these organizational measures are important, but it is more important to build confidence within the SCO, within the format that is currently working on Afghanistan (Russia, China, Pakistan and Iran). We are sure that India's participation would be a step in the right direction. 👉 The SCO and formats on Afghanistan, such as the Moscow format, provide platforms where Pakistan, India and China can communicate more, try to understand each other better, ask questions that concern them, receive and analyze answers. We are ready to help in every possible way. This is in the interest of your countries, our region and the SCO. 🔗More on the Ukrainian settlement, expectations for Donald Trump's administration, and UN Security Council reform

#Outcomes2024 ⚡️Today, at 13:30 (PKT) the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia will host a press conference of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the key outcomes of Russian diplomacy in 2024 . 🎙It will be broadcast on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, as well as on our Telegram channel in Russian and English.

Results of the Year with President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin (Moscow, Kremlin, 19 December 2024) #Year2024HighlightsRussia#VladimirPutin#Outcomes2024 #Economy The economic situation in Russia is generally positive and stable. We are growing in spite of everything, in spite of any external threats or attempts at outside influence. Last year Russia increased its GDP by 3.6 percent, and this year the economy is expected to grow by 3.9 percent, or possibly even four percent. What this means is that our economy will have grown by eight percent over the past two years. <…> In the United States – 5-6 percent, Eurozone – 1 percent. In the EU’s leading economy, Germany – 0 percent. International financial and economic institutions ranked Russia as Europe’s biggest economy in terms of volume, in terms of purchasing power parity, and the world’s fourth largest economy. We are behind China, the United States and India. Last year, Russia surpassed Germany and this year, we left Japan behind. #Sovereignty Russia has become significantly stronger in the past two or three years. We are becoming a truly sovereign country, and we barely depend on anybody. We are capable of firmly standing on our feet when it comes to the economy. We are strengthening our defence capability. The combat readiness of the Russian Armed Forces is the highest in the world today. I assure you it is the highest. #SpecialMilitaryOperation I must say that the situation [in the special military operation zone] is changing radically. Our fighting men are regaining the territory by square kilometers. We are advancing, as we said, towards achieving the priority goals that we outlined at the start of the special military operation. Our troops are fighting heroically in the direct sense of the word. The combat readiness of the Russian Armed Forces is the highest in the world today. #NuclearDoctrine It is not a new doctrine but actual changes. I will name some key aspects. We are talking about some new military hazards that may grow into military threats. They include missile defence systems and some other things that we list. [The document] speaks about increasing the responsibility of non-nuclear states that may participate in an aggression against the Russian Federation alongside the countries that have nuclear weapons. If, like their allies, these countries also pose a threat to our sovereignty and Russia’s existence, then we imply that we have the right to use our nuclear weapons against them [non-nuclear states]. If similar threats are posed to Belarus, our ally and member of the Union State, the Russian Federation will consider these threats as threats to Russia. And we will do everything to ensure the security of Belarus. It is a very important component of the updated nuclear strategy of the Russian Federation. #OreshnikMissile Oreshnik missile system is a new intermediate- and shorter-range system. It can strike targets located 1,000, 1,500, 3,000-plus and up to 5,500 km away. Supposing our system is located 2,000 km away, the missile interceptors on Polish territory would be unable to hit it. It takes time to travel this distance, while our missile needs a few second to start dispensing warheads, and that’s it, the ship has sailed. There is almost no chance of shooting down these missiles. #Syria Russia came to Syria ten years ago to prevent the creation of a terrorist enclave there, like the one that we saw in some other countries, for example, Afghanistan. We have achieved that goal, by and large. Even the groups that were fighting against the Assad regime and the government forces back then have undergone internal changes. The current situation in the Syrian Arab Republic remains challenging. We sincerely hope for peace and stability to be restored. We maintain dialogue with all groups controlling the situation there and with all regional countries. An overwhelming majority of them have expressed interest in retaining our military bases in Syria.
