✍️Vladimir Putin congratulated current staff and veterans of the Russian Federation Foreign Ministry on their professional holiday, Diplomatic Worker’s Day

💬 Vladimir Putin: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia can rightly take pride in its glorious traditions. Our diplomats fulfilled with honour their professional duty and set an example of patriotism and civic courage even in the most difficult times, in the face of severe trials.

❗️ The best qualities of our country’s diplomatic service are much in demand today amidst the hybrid war unleashed against Russia. It is extremely important now to make the most of our foreign policy instruments to defend our state sovereignty and national security.
The country managed not only to thwart the plans of the collective West to isolate Russia but also to step up cooperation with the majority of members of the international community largely owing to your efforts. I am referring to the states in Eurasia, the Middle East, the Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America.

The agenda now is to continue building on this interaction with responsible international partners. It is particularly important to strengthen ties with the CIS countries, promote Eurasian integration processes, consolidate our alliance within the CSTO, realise the full potential of the Union State and expand cooperation in such associations as the SCO and BRICS.

As before, we consider our absolute priorities to be protecting the lawful rights of Russian citizens and supporting our compatriots abroad, waging an uncompromising struggle against neo-Nazism and ethnic discrimination in all its forms. Of course, Russian diplomacy will continue supporting the trend towards the formation of a multipolar, truly democratic world order based on equality, mutual respect and observance of the generally recognised norms of international law.

I am sure that you will continue giving your all to advance Russia’s foreign policy interests. I sincerely wish you new professional successes as well as good health, high spirits and a long life to our veterans.

✍️ Article by the Head of Russia’s Financial Intelligence Unit – the Federal Financial Monitoring Service - Yury Chikhanchin exclusively for the National Interest ( February 10,2023)

🔹Russia's
contribution to the security of both regional and international financial systems is significant. Politicizing and effectively dismantling these systems by limiting Russia's role in multilateral anti-money laundering efforts carries enormous risks.

🔹Russia has always been and remains committed to strict compliance with its obligations in combating criminal proceeds. For twenty years as a member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), we have managed to develop one of the world’s most advanced anti-money laundering regimes.

🔹The Russian Financial Intelligence Unit has accumulated unique experiences that it has willingly shared with all interested countries.

🔹It appears that authors of anti-Russian initiatives, in a bid to “expel” Russia from everywhere, have completely lost touch with reality and forgotten about the dangerous consequences of dismantling the global AML/CFT system.

🔹Any restrictions on interaction and exchange of information related to terrorism, drugs, fraud, cybercrime, money laundering, and other serious offenses make it difficult to trace illegal assets.

❗️States that refuse to cooperate with the Russian government agencies on special issues of combating crime are, in fact, “shooting themselves in the foot”—exposing their own citizens and their national security to unreasonable risks.

🔹It is sad that FATF statements regularly made during its meetings about the need of establishing international cooperation in combating the financing of terrorism without politicization and double standards are nothing more than empty rhetoric.

☝️In the history of Russia’s relations with Western countries, including the United States, there are many examples of successful cooperation in countering terrorism and crime. Our joint efforts saved people's lives and brought criminals to justice. Why destroy what has been built over the years?
