🗓 On June 28, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with the Ambassadors of the #GlobalMajority countries, members of the #G20: Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Türkiye.

Current issues on the forum agenda for the Indian presidency was discussed. Special attention was paid to the preparation and holding of the G20 summit in New Delhi on September 9-10, 2023.

The participants of the meeting also emphasised the need to depoliticise the negotiations process and activity of this association, as well as to focus its discussions on the social and economic challenges and needs of the Global South.

Among the key areas of efforts are the democratisation of global management and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The importance of boosting the role of the dynamically developing economies in trade, industrial and financial institutions was also noted.

Russia confirmed its support of the Indian presidency in the G20 and analysed the destructive impact of the illegitimate sanctions on international development prospects, as well as on food and energy security.

The Minister shared his view of the Western states’ pressure on the developing countries in the attempts to involve them in certain formats “of mutual interest,” reckless plans of global settlement according to Western templates, boosting the delivery of weapons to the Kiev regime, extending the armed conflict in Ukraine and isolating Russia.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin's speech at the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Heads of State Council.

💬 President Putin: We believe it is important that all members of the association share their approaches to the situation in global politics, security, the social and economic spheres.

At the same time, our organisation is strongly committed to creating a truly just and multipolar world order, an order based on international law and common principles of mutually respectful cooperation between sovereign states with the central, coordinating role of the United Nations.

Our organisation plays an increasingly important role in international affairs and brings a substantial contribution to maintaining peace and stability, ensuring sustainable economic growth of its member states and developing ties between peoples.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in the #SCO member states who have expressed their support for the Russian leadership in defending the constitutional order, lives and security of its citizens. We greatly appreciate this.

Russia has been in favour of strengthening cooperation between the member states in investment, banking and finance, as well as in industry, energy, transport and logistics, agriculture, telecommunications, digitalisation and high tech.

Counterterrorism, countering extremism and religious radicalism, curbing drug trafficking and other types of smuggling, combating militant formations must remain a priority of the SCO.

It is a matter of satisfaction that the authority and influence of our association continue to improve, and other countries and international structures show interest in its activity. They trust us and want to be friends and work together.
