📺Video-urimi i Ministrit të Punëve të Jashtme të Rusisë, Sergej Lavrov, me rastin e Ditës së Punonjësit Diplomatik (10 shkurt 2026) 💬 Të dashur miq, Sot shënojmë festën tonë profesionale – Ditën e Punonjësit Diplomatik. Dëshiroj të përgëzoj të gjithë diplomatët rusë – edhe ata që punojnë në Aparatin Qendror dhe në përfaqësitë territoriale të Ministrisë, edhe ata që kryejnë detyrën e tyre jashtë vendit. Historia e diplomacisë ruse numëron më shumë se një shekull, ajo përsërit fazat e forcimit të shtetësisë ruse. Epokat ndryshojnë, por vlerat tona shpirtërore dhe morale mbeten të palëkundshme. Kjo është, para së gjithash, dashuria e sinqertë, vepruese dhe e vetëmohuar për Atdheun dhe përkushtimi i palëkundur ndaj idealeve të së vërtetës dhe drejtësisë. Me të drejtë krenohemi me arritjet e paraardhësve tanë të shquar. Nderojmë guximin e punonjësve të Komisariatit Popullor të Punëve të Jashtme, të cilët në vitet e vështira të Luftës së Madhe Patriotike u ngritën në mbrojtje të Atdheut me armë në dorë. Mbi këtë vepër të pavdekshme rreshtohen sot punonjësit e Ministrisë së Punëve të Jashtme dhe të institucioneve tona vartëse, të cilët marrin pjesë në operacionin special ushtarak. As diplomatët e tjerë nuk mbeten prapa: ata ndihmojnë ushtarët në front dhe familjet e tyre, mbështesin njerëzit e prekur nga krimet e neonazistëve ukrainas. Sot, në një tjetër pikë kthese historike, diplomacia jonë vazhdon të bëjë gjithçka që është në dorën e saj për të siguruar kushte të jashtme të sigurta dhe të favorshme për zhvillimin e qëndrueshëm të brendshëm të Rusisë dhe për përmirësimin e cilësisë së jetës së qytetarëve. Kursi ynë politik i jashtëm, i qëndrueshëm dhe i balancuar, në masë të madhe përcakton vektorin e transformimeve botërore, duke kontribuuar në krijimin e një rendi botëror të ri, shumëpolar. Jemi të interesuar për vendosjen e mëtejshme të një bashkëpunimi ndërkombëtar të ndershëm dhe të barabartë, mbi parimet e mirëkuptimit, besimit dhe fqinjësisë së mirë. Me iniciativën e Presidentit V.V. Putin, ne po punojmë për krijimin e një arkitekture të sigurisë së barabartë dhe të pandashme dhe bashkëpunimi të gjerë praktik në hapësirën euroaziatike. Në këtë kontekst, i kushtojmë rëndësi të veçantë lidhjes dhe zbatimit të marrëveshjeve dypalëshe. Midis tyre janë traktatet tona për garancitë e sigurisë me Bjellorusinë dhe partneriteti gjithëpërfshirës strategjik me Republikën Popullore Demokratike të Koresë dhe Republikën Islamike të Iranit. Vazhdojmë të zhvillojmë marrëdhënie të shumëanshme me shtetet e Shumicës Botërore. Midis tyre janë Kina, India dhe bashkëmendimtarë të tjerë, partnerë strategjikë dhe aleatë, veçanërisht në kuadër të#CSTO, #EAES, #CIS, #SCO, #BRICS. Gjithashtu, në qendër të vëmendjes sonë mbetet kundërshtimi ndaj çdo praktike neokoloniale: nga masat shtrënguese të njëanshme deri te ndërhyrjet ushtarake. Në këtë kontekst, shprehim solidaritetin tonë me popujt e Venezuelës dhe Kubës. Jemi të bindur se vetëm ata mund të përcaktojnë fatin e tyre. ☝️ Udhëheqja e vendit dhe shoqëria ruse e vlerësojnë me përpikëri punën tonë. Nga ne kërkohet disiplinë, përkushtim, qasje e ndërgjegjshme dhe krijuese ndaj punës. Besoj që ju do të vazhdoni të punoni me nder për të mirën e Atdheut, duke dhënë kontributin tuaj në zgjidhjen e detyrave të mëdha të politikës së jashtme të përcaktuara nga kreu i shtetit. Në këtë ditë, ne shprehim mirënjohjen tonë të veçantë për veteranët e dashur, të cilët me shembullin e tyre na mësuan bazat e diplomacisë. Shumë prej tyre, brenda mundësive që kanë, mbeten në radhët tona diplomatike. Dhe, sigurisht, dëshiroj të falënderoj veçanërisht të gjithë familjarët dhe të afërmit e punonjësve tanë. Mbështetja juaj e pakushtëzuar na jep forcë dhe na vendos në humor pune. Ajo është shumë e rëndësishme për ata që kryejnë shërbimin diplomatik larg Atdheut. Edhe një herë ju përgëzoj të gjithëve për festën. Ju uroj shëndet të mirë, mirëqenie dhe suksese të reja për të mirën e Atdheut. #DPD26#DitaEDiplomatit

🇷🇺🇧🇾 On June 9-10, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrovheld talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Belarus Maxim Ryzhenkov, who was on his first official visit in Moscow. The talks were held in a traditionally trust-based and truly comradely atmosphere. The Ministers discussed a wide range of key issues of Russia-Belarus strategic partnership and alliance. They focused on diplomatic support for the integration process in the Union State. They voiced coinciding or quite similar positions, while considering current international and regional issues, including the resolution of the Ukraine crisis. The Sides exchanged opinions regarding their future collaboration to forge a Greater Eurasian Partnership and new Eurasian security architecture. Following the meeting, Sergey Lavrov and Maxim Ryzhenkov signed a joint address to the foreign ministers of Eurasian states on drafting the Charter of Eurasian Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century. The Ministers reviewed, in great detail, issues of future integration within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (#CSTO), the Eurasian Economic Union (#EEU), the Commonwealth of Independent States (#CIS) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (#SCO), as well as mutual collaboration at the United Nations Organisation and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (#OSCE). Addressing a joint news conference, the Foreign Ministers of Russia and Belarus discussed, in great detail, the agreements reached by them. #RussiaBelarus#UnionState

🌐 A meeting in the SCO Plus format was held in Astana. Taking part in the meeting were: • the Leaders of #SCO Member States, • the Heads of delegations from SCO observer countries and dialogue partners, • the Heads of international organisations (the #UN, the #EEC, the Islamic Organisation for Food Security, the #CSTO, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, #CICA, and the #CIS); • the guests of Kazakhstan’s Presidency. The Russian delegation attending the meeting includes Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office and Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, and Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov. The theme of the SCO Plus meeting is Strengthening Multilateral Dialogue – Striving for Sustainable Peace and Development. The agenda includes international and regional issues related to the SCO’s cooperation with invited countries. *** 💬 Vladimir Putin: I believe the growing interest in the work of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation stems from our core values and ideals: a commitment to pursuing a sovereign and independent policy, alongside a collaborative approach with other countries to find collective solutions to global problems. These principles resonate with many around the world. Our association has always emphasised the importance of considering the opinions and perspectives of a broad range of partners, respecting each state’s inalienable right to choose its own development model. It is evident that the SCO is now one of the biggest and most influential regional organisations. As our chairman mentioned, its member countries are home to nearly half of the world’s population, produce about a quarter of the global GDP, and possess substantial intellectual and technological potential, as well as a significant portion of the world’s natural resources. The active participation of the SCO in multilateral cooperation across various fields is particularly crucial in the current challenging international landscape, where fundamental political and economic transformations are taking place. ☝️ The world is becoming genuinely multipolar, with an increasing number of states ready to decisively assert their legitimate rights and interests. New centres of power are emerging, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is solidifying its position as one of these key centres. Therefore, the topic we have brought up for discussion is highly relevant: Strengthening Multilateral Dialogue – Striving Towards a Sustainable Peace and Prosperity. This theme encapsulates the core mission of the SCO since its inception in 2001 – fostering an atmosphere of security and trust throughout our shared Eurasian region. In this context, we appreciate the sincere and concrete proposals from SCO member countries for the peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, a result of the reckless and intrusive policies of the United States and its satellites. As you know, Russia has never refused to negotiate, and is now ready to continue peace talks. It is Ukraine that withdrew from the talks, and it also did so publicly, on direct orders from London – which means Washington was also involved, there is no doubt about it – as Ukrainian officials have admitted bluntly and openly. The Istanbul agreements – we have to give credit to the President of Türkiye, Mr Erdogan, for agreeing to be part of that process as a mediator – are still on the table. They were initialed by Ukraine’s chief negotiator, which means that, to all appearances, Ukraine found them acceptable. These agreements, the Istanbul agreements, remain on the table and can be used as a starting point for further negotiation. The SCO member states coordinate their actions on the international track, including at the United Nations, and their foreign policy approaches are largely in accord or closely aligned.

#RussiaChina 🇷🇺🇨🇳 On September 25, Sergey Lavrov met with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China Wang Yi on the sidelines of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly. The Parties praised the development of political dialogue and practical cooperation between Russia and China amidst the highly turbulent international situation. Focus was placed on the implementation of agreements reached at the higher level, as well as the preparations for the BRICS summit in Kazan and new contacts between the two countries’ leaders. The Ministers stressed the importance of enhancing the two countries’ foreign policy coordination at international platforms, such as the #UN and its Security Council, #BRICS, #SCO, #APEC, #G20, and other formats. Sergey Lavrov and Wang Yi mentioned that Western countries’ illegitimate sanctions imposed in circumvention of UN Security Council resolutions are unacceptable as they undermine the stability of the global economy and universal forms of trade and economic cooperation. An in-depth discussion was held on global and Eurasian security, including settlement process for the Ukrainian crisis and measures to counter the West in escalating the situation in the Asia-Pacific region and around Taiwan, as well as on a number of other issues on the regional agenda. The conversation took place in the traditionally trust-based and constructive spirit typical of the Russian-Chinese strategic partnership. #UNGA79

Russia’s and India’s Foreign Ministers will pay special attention to the current and future avenues for promoting bilateral cooperation. They will also discuss the schedule for future contacts.

🌐Today is International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace. On December 12, 2018, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution A/RES/73/127 on marking this day. The document notes that the International Day aims to promote UN values and to reaffirm the trust of the world’s nations in the goals and principles of the UN Charter. 🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia is invariably committed to the policy of upholding multilateralism and the UN’s leading role in global affairs and is actively involved in efforts to overhaul the UN and to adapt it to new international realities. This is particularly topical today when a narrow group of states advancing the rules-based order concept exerts unprecedented pressure on the UN and other multilateral institutions. ✍️ Under the Russian Foreign Policy Concept, approved on March 31, 2023, Russia intends to prioritise efforts to reinstate the UN’s role as a central coordination mechanism in coordinating the interests of UN member states. At the same time, one of the main aims of national foreign policy is to strengthen the potential of multilateral regional associations and integration organisations involving Russia. For example, this refers to measures to enhance the international role of #BRICS, the #SCO, the #CIS, the #EAEU, the #CSTO, #RIC and other interstate associations and international organisations, as well as mechanisms with significant Russian involvement. ⏰ Today, on April 24, FM Sergey Lavrov will take part in one of the key events of Russia’s presidency of the UN Security Council, specifically, the open debate on "Effective multilateralism through the defence of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations." The debate will be streamed live on all our feeds. #UNCharterIsOurRules#Multilateralism

🎙Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at an extended meeting with the participation of the Foreign Ministers from the Global South and the Global East(June 11, 2024, Nizhny Novgorod) 💬 Welcome to Russia and Nizhny Novgorod, a beautiful city, the beauty of which and the feelings of the residents of which you had the chance to enjoy yesterday. Today’s meeting reflects the efforts of #BRICS members to develop ties with the stakeholder countries from the Global South and the Global East, the countries of the Global Majority, in order to identify solutions to the most pressing global issues faced by all members of the international community without exception. We are witnessing a profound transformation of international relations triggered by the formation of a fairer and polycentric system of international order, which would reflect the entire gamut of cultural and civilisational diversity of the modern-day world and ensure the right of every nation to determine its own future and its own path of development. The stronger voice of the Global Majority, i.e. the countries of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, which are not part of the collective West, is a major trend now. Only by uniting our ranks can we truly effectively promote a vision of a just future shared by all of us. In this context, it is important to strengthen the role of the country-to-country groups that advocate balanced and equitable approaches to international development. We are talking about the formats which reflect the principles of equitable cooperation in practice rather than in words. These include, along with BRICS, #SCO, #AfricanUnion, #EAEU, #CIS, #ASEAN, #LAS, #CELAC, #GCC, #IORA and many other organisations. The chairs of many of these organisations are here with us. We believe it is important to establish contacts between all such integration entities which operate at regional levels, on the one hand, and our global association BRICS, on the other hand. This will promote gradual and mutually respectful harmonisation of approaches to the issues facing all associations. The strengthening the international legal framework and collective decision-making on global issues is now at the forefront. Only in this case will those decisions be effective and legitimate. This principle is laid down in the UN Charter. Unfortunately, the collective West’s decisions, especially in the economy, finance, trade and more, increasingly fail to comply with the fundamental principles of the UN Charter. Our countries have largely overlapping approaches to reforming the system of multilateral institutions, including the UN and the UN Security Council, as well as addressing the post-pandemic recovery of the global economy and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals approved by the UN General Assembly. 🤝 We look forward to discussing all these issues today.
