📄 Excerpts from the Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation
Regional tracks of the foreign policy of Russia: Latin America and the Caribbean
☝️ Given the progressive strengthening of the sovereignty and multifaceted potential of Latin American and Caribbean states, Russia intends to develop relations with them on a pragmatic, de ideologized and mutually beneficial basis, giving priority attention to:
1) supporting interested Latin American states under pressure from the United States and its allies in securing sovereignty and independence, including through the promotion and expansion of security, military and military-technical cooperation;
2) strengthening friendship, mutual understanding and deepening multifaceted mutually beneficial partnership with Brazil 🇧🇷, Cuba 🇨🇺, Nicaragua 🇳🇮, Venezuela 🇻🇪, developing relations with other Latin American states, taking into account the degree of independence and constructiveness of their policy towards the Russian Federation;
3) increasing mutual trade and investment with Latin American and Caribbean States, including through cooperation with the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (#CELAC), the Common Market of the South (#MERCOSUR), the Central American Integration System (#SICA), the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of the Americas (#ALBA), the Pacific Alliance, and the Caribbean Community (#CARICOM);

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks during a joint news conference with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Nicaragua Denis Moncada Colindres following talks
📍 Managua, April 19, 2023
💬 We extensively discussed developing our relations in trade, the economy and investment. The key role belongs to the Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation. We agreed that co-chairs of the commission would hold another meeting on the sidelines of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) in June 2023.
🤝 We have a good foundation for a qualitatively higher level of bilateral relations in investment and the economy. This foundation was built last December, when Special Representative of the President of Nicaragua for Russian Affairs Laureano Ortega and Minister of Finance and Public Credit Ivan Acosta visited our country with a large delegation.
We highly value our Nicaraguan friends’ active assistance with strengthening the relations between the Russian Federation and the integration bodies in the region – specifically, #CELAC and #SICA.
☝️ Multipolarity is a trend dictated by modern reality and an objective historical process which cannot be stopped – although the collective West, which has consolidated under the umbrella of American exclusivity, tries to achieve that.
We note attempts to install their hegemony and dictate rules to everybody in every corner of the globe in the situation around Ukraine and NATO’s claims to play the role of a global guarantor of security, including in the Asia-Pacific and several other regions of the world.
Together with Nicaragua and other allies, we will continue to actively oppose these tendencies and draw attention to such unacceptable conduct in the modern world
