💬 We are delighted to welcome you to Moscow. We talk regularly, and this reflects the pace of growth that our leaders have set for our particularly privileged strategic partnership.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 On May 4, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China Qin Gang on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s Foreign Ministers’ Council meeting in the state of Goa, India.

The two Ministers praised Russian-Chinese relations for the momentum they have gained against the backdrop of growing geopolitical instability.

The two officials exchanged views on the current state of and prospects for developing the #SCO, welcoming the collective efforts by its member states to ensure peace and security in Eurasia. They also mentioned the SCO’s growing prestige in international affairs and its key role in the regional security architecture.

During the meeting, Sergey Lavrov and Qin Gang reaffirmed their mutual commitment to stepping up coordination efforts within the #UN, the #SCO, #BRICS, #RIC, #G20 and other key international organisations and dialogue mechanisms. They discussed several hot topics, including efforts to promote a peace settlement in the Ukraine crisis.

The meeting also included a confidential exchange of views on the latest international matters with a focus on the developments in the Asia-Pacific Region considering the fact that extra-regional actors have been increasingly active in seeking to set up various exclusive blocs and formats that undermine the ASEAN-centric security and stability framework in the region.

The two Ministers share the view that modern neo-colonialist practices are unacceptable and have a destructive effect on most countries around the world and international relations in general.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at talks with Foreign Minister of Belarus Sergey Aleinik (Moscow, May 17, 2023)

💬 We are glad to welcome you to Moscow.

This is your first visit to the Russian Federation after taking the office of Foreign Minister of the Republic of Belarus.

Today we have a busy agenda. Our countries are working on increasing the defence capacity on the western borders of the Union State, upholding justice in international relations, and asserting the inadmissibility of double standards in approaches to ensuring security in Europe.

☝️ The security architecture on the European continent is being actively destroyed by our Western neighbours. All the more important is coordination on the foreign policy front, which we carry out on the basis of two-year plans.

We will discuss the roles and tasks our ministries are facing in supporting the union state building, the implementation of the 28 union programmes, the provision of foreign political stewardship of the trade and economic cooperation, our actions at the #UN, #OSCE, #CIS, #CSTO, and #EAEU, as well as the strengthening of the Union State as the core of integration processes in the post-Soviet space.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with Foreign Minister of Tajikistan Sirojiddin Muhriddin

📍 Dushanbe, June 6, 2023

🇷🇺🇹🇯 It is symbolic that we meet in the year of the 30th anniversary of the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance. Last year we celebrated 30 years of diplomatic relations.

Since then, we have established a solid legal framework: more than 200 interstate and intergovernmental agreements have been signed. There are strong ties between the businesses of the two countries. More than 70 Russian regions are involved in expanding business cooperation with our Tajikistani friends.

Of course, we conduct political dialogue and have regular contacts at the level of heads of government. We were delighted to host President Emomali Rahmon on the occasion of the 78thanniversary of Victory Day on May 9. As you rightly said, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin visited Tajikistan in March, when important talks took place. Just tomorrow, a series of events under the #CIS and the #EAEU aegis will open in Sochi, to be attended by Prime Minister of the Republic of Tajikistan Kokhir Rasulzoda.

🤝 We appreciate the attitude towards the Russian language displayed by the presidents and our Tajikistani friends working in culture and education. Russian universities are opening their branches here. The Russian-Tajik (Slavonic) University is working successfully. Last year, we hosted Days of Tajikistan in Russia. This year, we are preparing to hold Days of Russia in Tajikistan.

In international affairs, we participate fruitfully in the CIS, #SCO, CA+Russia, #UN, #CSTO and many other formats. We expect to hold useful talks today.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during his meeting with Foreign Minister of Tajikistan Sirojiddin Muhriddin

📍 Dushanbe, June 6, 2023

💬 I completely share what you have said about the quality of our relations, strategic partnership and alliance. Our presidents have set the tone. They are building our relations on the foundation that had been laid over the past years. It is of principle importance, and we have praised it, that President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon took part in the Victory Parade on Red Square on May 9 together with other leaders.

Today we have a lot of topics that are being addressed for the benefit of our countries and peoples, above all economic and energy issues, which are the foundations of our economies. Today it is impossible to solve problems on one’s own, and that is why regional processes and integration formats in Central Asia and on the Eurasian continent are becoming more attractive.

🤝 We cooperate closely in these formats, including within the #CSTO and the #SCO. I believe that today we will outline other ways to support this cooperation even more actively and effectively in the interest of our nations.

I completely agree with you that it is necessary to further coordinate our actions on the international stage, above all at the #UN, as friends and allies do.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Today, Belarus, a state linked to Russia by centuries of fraternal friendship and bonds of mutual assistance, is marking Independence Day.

#OnThisDay in 1944, Minsk was liberated from Nazi German invaders and occupants as a result of well-coordinated Red Army operations. Fighting shoulder to shoulder, our nations made a decisive contribution to the Victory over Nazism.

Today, Russian-Belarusian relations are those of strategic partnership and alliance. Together, our countries continue to overcome serious difficulties and defend their interests on the international scene. They collaborate closely in the field of military and military-technical cooperation and in ensuring collective security.

Moscow and Minsk jointly streamline various institutions of the Union State and promote integration projects in the Eurasian region. Our countries voice common or similar positions on many international issues and cooperate closely in the #CSTO, the #EAEU, the #CIS, the #UN, the #OSCE and other international and regional organisations.

🤝 We congratulate the fraternal people of Belarus on the national holiday. We wish them well-being and prosperity.
