Speaking at the wreath-laying ceremony in memory of diplomats who died in the line of duty, those who fell on the battlefields during the Great Patriotic War and victims of repressions, the Russian Foreign Minister said that this year there are many anniversaries such as the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad, the 75th anniversary of the 1943 Moscow Conference of Foreign Ministers of the Soviet Union, Great Britain and the United States, as well as the Tehran Conference, where the basic principles of the United Nations were agreed upon.
He emphasized that the experience of alliance relations and international cooperation between countries at that time was different in terms of ideological struggle and worldview. However, the threat of a common enemy forced the parties to unite their efforts.
This experience, he said, is urgently needed even now. Sadly, there is a tendency to reject collective efforts and to push the agenda unilaterally. All this can lead to unfortunate and unpredictable consequences.
Foreign Minister Lavrov made it clear that Russia will never give up on honest dialogue, understanding the need for efforts in the fight against international terrorism and other threats.
Moscow will develop partnership and working contacts with all countries that share its views.
Russia will always be open to honest and close coordination of actions on the basis of equality, mutual respect and balance of interests./.
