🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Marina Kim for the New World project (Moscow, November 14, 2024)
Key talking points:
#InternationalAffairs
• Our main task now is to achieve all the goals formulated by President Vladimir Putin. You are aware of the West’s expectations. They are speculating about stopping the hostilities at a certain line and coordinating a truce, so that 10 years from now they will decide who Crimea and Donbass belong to. This is coffee cup reading. I won’t engage in it. We have our tasks, and we will fulfil them.
• Our job is to assert and promote Russia’s interests in keeping with its Constitution as well as the objectives defined by President Vladimir Putin. This goes beyond Ukraine and applies to Russia’s Foreign Policy Concept in general.
#USA
• Washington can’t allow Russia to prove that it is a strong player and undermine the West’s reputation. They don’t care about Ukraine. They only care about their reputation. They decided that Ukraine should have a government they like and didn’t expect anyone to protest. Russia? It’s a big country but it must be brought down a peg. That is what this is about rather than the future of the Ukrainian people. They don’t care about people.
• Sanctions have been imposed on over half of the world’s countries, even if they are not as drastic as those that have been adopted against Russia, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran and Venezuela. The real reason behind the West’s current rage is that China is rapidly and confidently surging ahead of the United States.
• We can see through what the Americans want. Sitting somewhere overseas, they believe that they are beyond the reach, while leaving it to Europe to overcome the challenges they face in terms of encouraging and arming Ukraine to fight Russia, as well as footing the bill for the Middle East tragedy.
#Eurasia4You
• God gave us one continent, and we share it. This continent possesses immense and, in fact, the biggest natural resources, while several millennia-old civilisations inhabit it. Failing to benefit from these competitive advantages would be a mistake. This is what the idea of building a Greater Eurasian Partnership is all about, and the EAEU, SCO and ASEAN have already taken the first steps in this direction. We are establishing ties and promoting dialogue. If we succeed in fulfilling the plans we have, the Greater Eurasian Partnership will offer a solid foundation and serve as an economic and transport backbone for what President Vladimir Putin called a new Eurasian security architecture.
• There is a clear understanding that the Eurasian security architecture, just like the Greater Eurasian Partnership, must be open to all countries and continents, including Eurasia’s western part, even if so far the latter has been trying, as if by inertia, to ensure its interests within a Euro-Atlantic security concept instead of opting for the Eurasian framework, which would be natural and reasonable, considering the geography factor. This is their way of saying that they do not intend to do anything without the United States.
#BRICS
🌐 BRICS is about the new world order that is based on the main principle of the UN Charter – the sovereign equality of states.
• BRICS has no intention of dividing the world. It wants to bring together countries that desire closer relations so that they can live on the land they got from God and their ancestors just as they used to, as great civilisations.
#Africa
🌍 Decolonisation has taken place, in a broad sense. But being able to actually manage one’s freedom and resources is a different story. This is where neo-colonialism comes to the fore.
• The First Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum in Sochi, and the Russia-Africa Summit in St Petersburg in 2023 clearly put into perspective the trends that could be called Africa’s second awakening.

Interview: China plays pivotal role in global climate action, says former UN official
BAKU, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- China is now an indispensable nation for global climate efforts, former UN Under-Secretary-General Erik Solheim told Xinhua in a recent interview.
The 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) commenced Monday in Baku, Azerbaijan, aiming to bolster climate finance, carbon trading, and the global transition from fossil fuels. The conference will run until Nov. 22.
Solheim, also the former UN Environment Executive Director, shared his views on China's current role in fighting climate change amid ongoing global changes.
"China is now an indispensable nation for global climate efforts," Solheim said, adding that it is essentially "impossible for the world to go green without China."
China plays an important role in the global green energy transition, accounting for 60 percent or more of global production in key green sectors, including solar, wind, and hydropower, as well as electric cars and batteries, he said.
He also stressed the need for necessary investments to tackle climate challenges, saying multilateral platforms, like BRICS, are increasingly significant for addressing climate change.
"BRICS has become very important since that's an avenue for the Global South to come together and lead the world," he said, adding that the initiative will move to countries of the Global South.
"The 'Belt and Road Initiative' has recently turned into a major vehicle for green investment in the world, in solar, wind, hydropower and green corridors," said the former UN official.
To illustrate the significant impact of Belt and Road projects, he cited the Chinese-built Padma Bridge project in Bangladesh.
Completed by China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group Co., Ltd. and opened to the public in June 2022, the bridge crosses the Padma River, connecting southern Bangladesh to Dhaka. Solheim expects this infrastructure project to boost Bangladesh's economy by 1 percent. ■

❗️Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand have become BRICS partners, the Russian Foreign Ministry reports
🗣 "The BRICS summit in Kazan demonstrated the aspiration of the global majority to create a just world order, reform global institutions and build equitable economic relations. A solid package of agreements was reached on trade, investment, artificial intelligence, energy and climate, and logistics," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Pankin told a joint meeting of APEC foreign and trade ministers.
The BRICS partner status denotes an alternative to full membership, allowing participating nations to engage with BRICS but without voting rights. Partner status will be "as close to membership as possible," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov hinted earlier this year.

German business interests are concentrated in BRICS countries
Germany has emerged as the EU leader among member states grappling with lost competitiveness and declining industrial output, primarily due to Berlin's short-sighted decision to forgo Russian energy in 2022. In the aftermath, opposition politicians have pointed to Germany's excessive dependence on and alignment with US interests as factors contributing to its increasingly precarious situation.
According to Ralph Niemeyer, a German opposition politician and chairman of the Council for Constitution and Sovereignty, German business interests are heavily invested in #BRICS countries, and he advocates for Berlin to join the bloc as soon as possible:
This sentiment extends to partnerships with India and Russia, although ties with the latter have been significantly limited due to ongoing sanctions:

“In my opinion, we need to join as soon as possible because all our business interests are in these countries. We export more to China today than to the United States of America,” Niemeyer said.
This sentiment extends to partnerships with India and Russia, although ties with the latter have been significantly limited due to ongoing sanctions:
“We could join because BRICS is not a military body, but a business one. We have seen how it is being filled with new life as countries join, seeking good international cooperation on an equal basis. At some stage this was the idea of the European Union…I see that African nations are very interested. My question remains: why don’t we, the Germans, join in too?” Niemeyer asked.

APEC leaders voice concerns over protectionism and economic inequality
Leaders from the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) member countries expressed their concern about certain nations implementing protectionist measures that may exacerbate the disparity between the rich and the poor, according to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk, who is leading the Russian delegation at the APEC summit in Lima, Peru.
He emphasised that while decades of economic globalisation have led to increased global wealth, that has predominantly been concentrated in the hands of large corporations that have profited from these developments, leaving ordinary people with minimal benefits. Instead, he advises taking an example from #BRICS.

"Attention was paid to the ongoing economic fragmentation, which we all are witnessing at this point. Huge concern was expressed over the fact that economies are starting to defend from each other, taking protectionist measures, which disable the existing global value chains and, naturally, affect the economy and global productivity of labor. In the final analysis, this widens the gap between the rich and the poor," Overchuk said.
He emphasised that while decades of economic globalisation have led to increased global wealth, that has predominantly been concentrated in the hands of large corporations that have profited from these developments, leaving ordinary people with minimal benefits. Instead, he advises taking an example from #BRICS.
"Of course, <…> the need to maintain an open, transparent dialogue among the nations was also discussed today," he said. "We talked about new platforms for dialogue, including BRICS, where global problems that we are facing today can be addressed in a conversation among equals."

🇪🇺 🤍 Russia's Sochi hosts symposium on cooperation between BRICS+, EU with lawmakers taking part
In the wake of the last week's #RussiaAfrica Partnership Forum's ministerial conference, the Russian resort city is hosting the symposium "The Role of the State, Science and Society in the Development of Socioeconomic Cooperation between BRICS+ and European Countries and Organizations".
According to the organizers, the event with the participation of MPs from the EU is intended to "open a new page" in relations with constructive socio-political forces in Europe.
💬 "Since the beginning of the escalation of geopolitical tensions in the region, the symposium in Sochi will be the first serious attempt to gather lawmakers from Russia, the EU countries, and BRICS Plus countries at one table for a frank but constructive conversation about what unites us, not what divides us," the press release said.
"This is an icebreaker event that opens the way to restoring a full-fledged inter-parliamentary and public dialogue between the East and West of Europe, and through it between the political West and the Global South," it added.
The organizers are the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the public organization "International BRICS Forum".
The event continues a series of events within the framework of the Russian presidency of the association.
Among the invited guests from the EU are members of the European Parliament from Greece, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, as well as lawmakers from the national legislative bodies of Bulgaria, Germany, Serbia and other countries, the organizers said.
