#UNGA78

🇷🇺🇸🇦 On September 21, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud on the sidelines of the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly.

The Officials discussed at length the priority aspects of the further expansion of mutually beneficial Russian-Saudi cooperation in the context of the agreements reached earlier at the highest level.

🤝 The Parties reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening foreign policy coordination between Moscow and Riyadh at various international platforms.

The Ministers noted the stabilising effect that cooperation between Russia and Saudi Arabia in this strategically important area has had on the global hydrocarbons market.

They also exchanged views on a range of current issues on the international and regional agenda, focusing on the developments in Syria and the Palestinian-Israeli settlement, and noting the importance of restoring Palestinian unity.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 On September 21, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a conversation with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of the High-Level Week of the #UNGA78.

The Officials focused on the most challenging international problems and various aspects of cooperation between Russia and the United Nations.

❗️ The Foreign Minister once again underscored the need for the UN leadership and all without exception UN employees to abide by the principles of impartiality and equidistance enshrined in Article 100 of the UN Charter. He called on Antonio Guterres to prevent any involvement of officials representing UN agencies in politicised initiatives in the context of the Ukraine crisis.

Sergey Lavrov also pointed to the inadmissibility of using double standards with regard to different territories in UN statistics and other documents.

👉 They also discussed in detail topics related to the proposed UN reform intended to adapt the United Nations to modern realities with a focus on the Secretary-General’s Our Common Agenda initiative. Foreign Minister Lavrov noted the importance of taking into consideration the entire spectrum of opinions of UN Member States while implementing any reform plans.

It was declared that Russia would be most active in relevant discussions at the Summit of the Future in September 2024, including in the work on the Pact for the Future, its final document.

In addition, Foreign Minister Lavrov drew the Secretary-General’s attention to the fact of continued violations by the US of its obligations under the 1947 Agreement regarding the Headquarters of the United Nations, including its refusal to issue visas to diplomats from Russia and other countries for participation in UN events.

☝️ He noted once again that the existing situation dictated the need for Antonio Guterres to launch an arbitration procedure against the US as soon as possible, something that was repeatedly stated in related UNGA resolutions.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions during a news conference following the High-Level Week of the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly

📍 New York, September 23, 2023

Key talking points:

🔹 We can see the firm position of the Global South and the World Majority on upholding their national interests. From this standpoint, they are unwilling to join anti-Russian sanctions and engage in various West-initiated campaigns.

🔹 We will continue cooperating within BRICS. There have also been separate meetings of BRICS, SCO, CSTO and CICA foreign ministers. We expect that all these regional associations will proactively support the UN reform process, giving it more sustainability and legitimacy.

🔹 The President of Ukraine and everyone who governs him in Washington, London, and Brussels firmly say that there is no other basis for peace other than the "Zelensky format." This "format" can be described in different ways, but it is unfeasible. Everyone is aware of this.

🔹 The main reason for us to withdraw from the grain deal and it ceasing to exist was that everything that had been promised to us turned out to be deception.

🔹 As for Nord Stream pipelines, this is yet another example (and I simply cannot list them all) of sweeping the most essential facts under the rug and plotting another lie for building their further geopolitical schemes.

🔹 We work with those who have respect for themselves and will never betray their national interests just because someone from Washington told them to do so. We know how American diplomats travel across the globe and prohibit meetings with our diplomats and Russian representatives in general.
