🎙Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at #RussiaASEAN Ministerial Meeting(Kuala Lumpur, July 10, 2025) 💬 It is a genuine pleasure to join you all here in Kuala Lumpur today. First, I would like to thank Malaysia for the hospitality and the excellent organisation of today’s event, and express gratitude to Myanmar, as the coordinator of the Russia-ASEAN dialogue, for its efforts in advancing our strategic partnership. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in World War II. The defeat of Nazi Germany and militarist Japan, to which our country made a decisive contribution, created the conditions for the decolonisation process in Asia and elsewhere, and the subsequent formation of a modern security and cooperation architecture in the Asia-Pacific region. The association lies at its core. 🤝 The first Russia-ASEAN summit was held right here in Malaysia’s capital 20 years ago. It not only elevatedourdialogue to a whole new level, but also cemented its comprehensive nature, as reflected in the Declaration adopted at the leaders’ meeting. Then, in 2018, our partnership was officially granted strategic status. Today, it is safe to say that ASEAN is truly Russia’s reliable friend and like-minded partner. We are united by our commitment to broad-based and equitable international cooperation based on the UN Charter and the full set of interconnected principles that are laid out in the Charter. For our part, we consistently support the centrality of ten ASEAN countries in regional affairs. 🌐 Next year will mark the 35th anniversary of Russia-ASEAN relations, which, as I just mentioned, have gained fundamentally new depth over the years. Russia-ASEAN partnership strongly contributes to stability in the Asia-Pacific region. Cooperation in politics, security, and countering new challenges and threats continues to make strides. The economy, energy, agriculture, and humanitarian ties are marked by positive dynamics. We believe today’s meeting will help unlock further potential in our dialogue, expand its sectoral agenda, and launch new joint mechanisms especially in science-intensive and high-tech sectors. ✍️ The adoption of a new Russia-ASEAN policy paper for 2026-2030 is intended to advance these objectives. This document will outline current goals and priority cooperation areas. We look forward to a constructive outcome from today’s discussions.
