🇷🇺🇹🇷 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin met in the Kremlin with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Türkiye Hakan Fidan (June 11, 2024).

💬 Vladimir Putin: I am aware that you were in Nizhny Novgorod and met with foreign ministers from the #BRICS countries who came to Russia in the run-up to the BRICS summit. We welcome Turkiye’s interest in BRICS.

Of course, we will support this interest and the push to be closer to the countries of this association and to address common problems, especially so since the situation calls for, I believe, a more thorough and close interaction, particularly for the countries of the region which we live in, in order to act effectively across all areas both in terms of ensuring security and in terms of economic cooperation and in order to adjust our actions in the international arena. Everything that I just mentioned is one way or another among our priorities which we work on painstakingly.

🤝 We note with satisfaction progress in our relations with the Republic of Türkiye. All of that is happening, of course, under the leadership and with the direct support of our friend, the President of the Republic of Türkiye.

<...>

We are grateful to our Turkish friends for their commitment to contribute to the settlement of crisis situations, including the Ukraine crisis. I would also like to thank you, in your former capacity, for supporting the negotiating process and for providing the Istanbul venue for negotiations with Ukraine to resolve the crisis.

<...>

☝️ Türkiye and Russia played a significant role in settling the Syria crisis, and I think continuing the Astana format will be the right thing to do, to fight terrorism, and to do everything we can to return the situation back to normal in this most important area.

Overall, the situation is unfolding in a positive manner. Please convey my best regards to President Erdogan. I hope that soon, in July, I think July 3–4, he will arrive in Astana, as far as I know, as part of an international event, and we will have an opportunity to sit down and discuss all current issues.

🇷🇺12 июня в Посольстве России в Великобритании состоялся государственный прием по случаю Дня России.

В мероприятии, традиционно прошедшем в теплой и доброжелательной атмосфере, приняли участие более 300 человек.

🤝Посольство в этот день посетили главы дипломатических миссий большинства стран СНГ, Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона, Ближнего Востока, Африки и Латинской Америки. Среди гостей были и представители базирующихся в Лондоне международных организаций, симпатизирующих нашей стране британских политических и деловых кругов, общественных движений и СМИ. Активное участие в мероприятии приняли российские соотечественники, включая представителей русскоязычных образовательных и культурных учреждений.

В ходе приема иностранные гости и наши соотечественники смогли не только ознакомиться с шедеврами русской и советской живописи и скульптуры, широко представленными в старинном здании Посольства, но и отведать традиционные блюда отечественной кухни.

💬Из выступления Чрезвычайного и Полномочного Посла Российской Федерации в Великобритании А.В.Келина:

︎История нашей страны учит терпению и стойкости в преодолении любых испытаний. И сейчас, чтобы нормально развиваться, Россия должна отразить угрозы своей безопасности, отстоять национальные интересы. Мы знаем, как это сделать и делаем. Знает весь наш многонациональный народ. Он сплотился и доказал это в ходе недавних выборов Президента Российской Федерации.

︎Мир сегодня переживает поистине тектонические изменения. Навсегда в прошлое уходит период, когда узкая группа стран могла навязывать остальным свою волю, диктовать, как жить и что делать. Этот процесс – объективная реальность. Формируется полицентричный миропорядок, где нет места гегемонии и колониализму. И Россия - один из игроков, кто прокладывает путь к этой новой реальности.

︎Мы сталкиваемся с огромным сопротивлением оппонентов – ведь они привыкли руководствоваться логикой собственной исключительности и неким порядком, основанным на правилах, придуманных ими самими.

︎Россия открыта к честному сотрудничеству со всеми, кто к этому готов. Наша экономика, несмотря на внешний прессинг, успешно развивается и предоставляет колоссальные возможности для инвесторов.

Великобритания сегодня находится в авангарде борьбы против русских и России. И это крупнейшая стратегическая ошибка, которую будет невероятно трудно исправить. Мы сожалеем об этом и надеемся, что присущий британцам здравый смысл когда-нибудь все же возьмет верх над конъюнктурой в угоду проходящим политическим интересам. Как бы там ни было, но у нас есть четырехвековой фундамент взаимных отношений и достойных свершений.

☝️Уверен, пока на Туманном Альбионе говорят по-русски, читают Достоевского, учат произведения Пушкина и слушают Чайковского, у России и Британии больше шансов когда-нибудь вновь понять друг друга.

🇷🇺On June 12, the Russian Embassy in London held a reception on the occasion of Russia Day.

The event, which traditionally takes place in a warm and friendly atmosphere, was attended by over 300 people.

🤝The Embassy welcomed heads of diplomatic missions from most CIS countries, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Among the guests were representatives of international organisations based in London, British political and business circles who appreciate our country, public organisations, and the media. Russian compatriots, including representatives of Russian-speaking educational and cultural institutions, also took an active part in the event.

During the reception foreign guests and our compatriots had the opportunity not only to admire masterpieces of Russian and Soviet painting and sculpture, extensively displayed in the historic Embassy building, but also to sample traditional dishes of our national cuisine.

💬Excerpts from the address of Russian Ambassador Andrei Kelin:

︎Our country’s history teaches us the virtues of patience and fortitude in overcoming any challenges. Right now, in order to ensure normal development, Russia needs to repel threats to its security and uphold its national interests. We know what to do and we are doing it. Our entire multiethnic nation knows what needs to be done. Our country has become more consolidated and committed to this goal, as recent Presidential elections have demonstrated.

︎The world is undergoing truly tectonic changes. The times when a tiny group of nations could impose their will and dictate to others how to live and what to do, are receding irrevocably into the past. This is an objective reality. A polycentric world, devoid of hegemony and colonialism, is in the making. Russia is one of the actors paving the way towards this new reality.

︎Needless to say, we face huge resistance from our opponents. They have become accustomed to acting in line with the logic of their own exclusivity and the so-called rules-based world order invented by themselves.

︎Russia is open to honest cooperation with all those who are ready for such cooperation. Our economy, despite external pressures, is developing successfully and offers tremendous opportunities for investors.

Today the United Kingdom is in the lead of the struggle against Russians and Russia. This is indeed a major strategic mistake that will be incredibly difficult to rectify. We regret it and hope that common sense, which is so inherent to the British, will someday prevail over short-lived political interests. In any case we are still in possession of our foundations – four centuries of bilateral relations and some notable accomplishments in the past.

☝️I am sure that as long as people in what we call the Foggy Albion speak Russian, read Dostoevsky, recite the poetry of Pushkin and listen to Tchaikovsky, Russia and Britain stand a better chance of understanding each other again once more.

#Ukraine

On May 31, Washington, following a number of European countries, gave the Kiev regime a green light to use the supplied weapons for strikes at the Russian areas bordering on the Kharkov Region. Declaring this decision, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the strikes will reach deeper inside Russia and the West will keep on adjusting its strategy.

Fire (not the West’s stance) adjustment has been carried out by Washington for all these years, not only starting from 2022. The involvement of Western countries in destroying Ukrainian statehood and in direct hostilities against peaceful civilian population in Donbass is not a secret.

#KoreanPeninsula

The negative trends in the subregion are caused by the actions of the US. They consistently engage in military manoeuvres with their allies. These actions are attempts at intimidation under the guise of addressing the “North Korean threat.”

<...>

Washington forges a tripartite military alliance with Seoul and Tokyo, not only to target the DPRK but also to strategically constrain Moscow and Beijing.

🕯 On the death of Vice-President of the Republic of Malawi

Moscow was saddened to learn of the death on June 10 in a plane crash of the Vice-President of the Republic of Malawi, Saulos Chilima, and his entourage, including former First Lady Shanil Dzimbiri.

Saulos Chilima’s work for many years was inextricably linked to Malawi's political life. An experienced statesman and patriot of his country, the Vice-President enjoyed well-deserved authority and recognition within the Malawian society.

The Russian Federation expresses its condolences to the leadership and people of the Republic of #Malawi and to the families and friends of the victims.

⚡️Today, as a result of another targeted attack by the armed formations of the Kiev regime, employees of the NTV film crew were seriously injured. The channel's correspondent Alexey Ivliev is in serious condition, and cameraman Valery Kozhin died in the hospital.

💬 We do not expect an adequate assessment of this tragedy from the current leadership of the OSCE. The humanitarian component of the Organization has been devalued. The Office of the Representative for Freedom of the Media has once again gone bankrupt. 

❗️We will make efforts to ensure that this situation is corrected under the new leadership team.

🇷🇺🇮🇷 Russia's President Vladimir Putin spoke over the phone with Acting President of Iran Mohammad Mokhber.

Both sides expressed their interest in further development of #RussiaIran cooperation, including by implementing promising joint projects in energy and transportation sectors.

Certain issues related to cooperation on the international stage were touched upon, including in relation to Russia’s presidency in #BRICS, which the Islamic Republic of Iran joined on January 1, 2024.

Mohammad Mokhber congratulated the President and the people of Russia on the country’s national holiday, celebrated on June 12, and expressed his gratitude for the support offered by the President in the midst of the difficult period that Iran was going through after the tragic death of President Ebrahim Raisi.

In his turn, Vladimir Putin congratulated all the Muslims of Iran on the upcoming Eid al-Fitr holiday, wished Mr Mokhber success in the ongoing presidential campaign, and asked him to convey his best wishes to Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

✍️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to organisers of and participants of the 5th Kazan International Congress of Eurasian Integration

💬 I would like to warmly greet the organisers of and participants of the 5th Kazan International Congress of Eurasian Integration.

Your platform brings together a wide range of state officials and civil society activists, experts on international affairs, economists and representatives of academic circles; all of them are interested in strengthening multifaceted cooperation across the Eurasian region we share.

In today’s challenging global environment, created by the destructive policies of the collective West, your work to forge a constructive international agenda seems to be in high demand.

Several promising integration formats, including the #UnionState, the #EAEU, the #SCO, as well as the #CIS, chaired by Russia in 2024, function in Eurasia. The initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin on establishing a Greater Eurasian Partnership aims to synchronise collaboration between them.

☝️ You will review a wide range of issues regarding expanded practical cooperation in Eurasia. Certainly, we welcome your interest in such a new multilateral entity as #BRICS, also chaired by Russia this year.

I am confident that the congress will contribute to strengthening friendship and trust between nations, and that it will help draft useful recommendations.

🤝 I wish you successful work and all the best.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Cuba Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla (Moscow, June 12, 2024)

💬 Sergey Lavrov: We are delighted to have you here in Moscow. I recall our meeting in Havana back in February of this year, when you warmly welcomed our delegation.

Today, our talks in Moscow coincide with a national holiday, Russia Day. As per our tradition, there is no better way to celebrate holidays than with long-time friends.

🇷🇺🇨🇺 We have a concrete agenda. Just one month ago, the presidents of Russia and Cuba met in Moscow and took part in the Victory Parade on May 9. Interestingly, it was snowing in Moscow at that time, but today we have aimed to make up for that chilly day with warm weather.

Our presidents consistently set objectives. Today, we need to assess how we will enhance and specify activities across all areas of our cooperation.

🤝 Thank you for joining us in the #BRICS Foreign Ministers meetings with our partners over the past two days. We recognise the significant advantages of such events, which engage countries from the Global Majority, Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
