🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the Sixth Round of #RussiaGCC strategic dialogue (Moscow, July 10, 2023)
💬 In the 12 years since the launch of this format, the strategic dialogue has proven to be an effective mechanism for discussing key regional and global issues and ways to develop economic and cultural cooperation between our countries. I hope that today’s meeting will give an additional boost to the promotion of Russia’s interaction with the member states of the Council.
Our comprehensive relations continue to progress, which is reaffirmed by a significant increase in high-level and highest-level contacts over the last year.
<...>
Russia and Cooperation Council member states have all the necessary mechanisms to successfully address our common tasks, promote a mutually beneficial partnership, and transfer it to a systematic strategic foundation.
Our countries’ relevant departments and business associations are taking consistent steps to expand economic ties. Despite the difficult geopolitical environment, we manage to maintain a positive trend in mutual trade. At the end of last year, trade between Russia and your countries increased by more than six percent compared to the previous year, and exceeded $11 billion.
