🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings on #DiplomatsDay
💬 Today, we are celebrating Diplomatic Worker’s Day. I would like to congratulate all my colleagues, no matter where you work – on Smolenskaya Square, in the Foreign Ministry’s regional offices or in our numerous foreign missions – on our shared holiday.
February 10 is an important day for all Foreign Ministry staff. It symbolises the continuity of the diplomatic service and demonstrates to the country and the world our professional unity and the noble ideals of our country’s diplomacy.
☝️ This year we are celebrating our holiday against the backdrop of the hybrid war that the United States and its allies have unleashed on our country.
There is no doubt that Russia will withstand this time of trials and will become even stronger after overcoming them. The large-scale Russophobic campaign for which the collective West has been cultivating the Nazi regime in Kiev for many years has directly affected our diplomats as well. Many of our colleagues are now working in extreme conditions, often risking life and limb.
The Foreign Ministry team has always faithfully and fully done its duty to the Motherland and our people. And this time will be no different.
❗️ We will continue to do everything necessary to protect our national interests and create a favourable environment for Russia’s stable development and for raising the living standards of its people. The honour and dignity of our Motherland and all our citizens have never been and will never be subject to any compromise.

🇷🇺🇺🇸A solemn meeting was held at the Embassy on the occasion of the Diplomatic Worker’s Day. The guests were welcomed with a speech by Ambassador A.I.Antonov.
💬Anatoly Antonov: Dear colleagues, dear friends,
I would like wholeheartedly to congratulate everyone on our professional holiday – Diplomatic Worker's Day.
Following a good tradition, on this day we pay tribute to the memory of our predecessors who dedicated their lives to serving the Motherland in the diplomatic field. Earlier today we have visited the grave of Alexander Bodisko an outstanding Russian diplomat, who served here for 17 years. Our compatriot contributed a lot to the greatness of Russia, including through the development of bilateral relations.
I would like to convey my sincere words of gratitude and support to veterans of the diplomatic service. Our senior comrades have done everything for us to continue their work, defending Russian national interests.
Dear friends,
It just so happened that we live in difficult times. Our Motherland is again in danger, as it was during the Great Patriotic War. The Armed Forces defend the sovereignty and independence of Russia in a special military operation. We, who are many thousands of kilometers from our homeland, defend the interests of the Motherland in the conditions of a hybrid war unleashed against us.
The whole Western world is fighting against us. However, it is already clear today that plans to inflict a strategic defeat on our country have been derailed. Russia, especially over the past year, has rebuilt the economy, strengthened its military potential, and stepped up cooperation with most of the states.
Yes, it's hard for us. Yes, we live under economic sanctions. They even want to erase the name of our Motherland from the political map of the world. Day after day, Russian diplomats feel the desire of enemies to undermine the centuries-old friendship with the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, as well as Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
❗️Nevertheless, the Russian Federation does not give up its goals, the main of which is the formation of a democratic world order based on equality and respect for international law - such an order that will provide conditions for the fair development of all countries, where the national interests of any state will be respected, based on the principle of indivisible security.
Our Embassy is a small part of Russian society. Together with our native country, we overcome difficulties and hardships, rejoice in victories. Here, far from the Motherland,each diplomat does his best to strengthen the image and prestige of Russia.
Dear friends,
We have received many congratulations on our professional holiday from our colleagues. Of course, from Moscow, as well as Russian embassies in other countries. I am grateful to colleagues from the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States for their kind words and wishes.
President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov have praised the results of our activities and wished us new achievements.
On this wonderful day, I would like to thank you for your excellent work, to wish you good health, success and prosperity. I am confident that our team will continue to work with maximum efficiency.
I express my gratitude to the colleagues from the embassies of the Commonwealth of Independent States, who joined us today to take part in the event. We don't have any covert agenda. The only thing we want for your countries is to prosper and to live without shocks. I am firmly convinced that only by unity and reliance upon common culture, history, and traditions we can achieve high standards in politics, economics, and social development.
I am also glad to greet our compatriots who, despite the current Russophobic atmosphere, continue to love their Motherland and believe in it.
Happy holiday!

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to guests and participants of the 21st Diplomatic Winter Games
💬 The Games, which have been held for more than two decades, have won recognition and popularity among the diplomatic corps accredited in our country.
☝️ They have made a significant contribution to maintaining a spirit of cooperation and an atmosphere of trust between nations, as well as popularising a healthy, active lifestyle and the values of the physical fitness movement. In this regard, it is symbolic that your competitions are held right after Diplomatic Worker’s Day in Russia.
I believe that, as always, this sports event will be held in a very cordial atmosphere, characteristic of the Moscow Country Club, a gem of the Moscow Region. And, of course, Russia’s unique hospitality and the distinctive cultural and gastronomic traditions of the northern regions of our multinational Motherland will make an unforgettable impression on the guests.
🤝 I wish you amazing achievements, an excellent experience, positive emotions and all the best.

Key points
🔵 In keeping with our long-standing good tradition, we celebrate our professional holiday in February, which unites all those who defend Russia’s foreign policy track.
🔵 No matter where you work – in the central building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Smolenskaya Square, the territorial missions in the regions of the Russian Federation, or the Russian foreign missions – you uphold the true values of Russian diplomacy: loyalty to your Fatherland, patriotism, selflessness and a clear vision of Russia’s national interests.
🔵 Faced with the hybrid aggression launched by the collective West, Russia’s foreign policy service is making its contribution to the diplomatic support of the special military operation and the effort to achieve its goals.
❗️ Today, Russia stands at the vanguard of fast-moving change. By and large, we play a central role in defining this development vector and its content. This means that all of us without exception must keep up to speed at all times and adopt a forward-looking mindset in order to anticipate anything our ill-wishers may do, while being proactive and creative in adapting our enduring foreign policy principles to the changing environment. These principles include our commitment to independence, being results-driven, inclusiveness and a multi-faceted approach.
🔵 Russia is set to hold a presidential election soon. In fact, it is just a month away. This is a challenging moment in the history of our country when we must all fulfil our civic duty. I am certain that all our foreign missions will make the necessary arrangements to enable Russians to vote abroad. We are taking all the necessary steps to make this happen.
🔵 I wish you every success and good luck. Happy Diplomatic Worker’s Day.

📄 President Vladimir Putin congratulated current staff and veterans of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Diplomatic Worker’s Day.
💬 Vladimir Putin: The Russian Foreign Ministry rightfully takes pride in its rich history and glorious traditions. Throughout history, its employees have honourably protected the interests of the Motherland in the international arena despite any difficulties and challenges.
In the current geopolitical landscape, amidst a hybrid war unleashed against us and attempts by the collective West to isolate Russia and undermine its security, the Foreign Ministry faces difficult and responsible tasks.
Russian diplomacy aims to make a significant contribution to creating favourable external conditions for our country’s dynamic development, fostering effective cooperation with foreign partners, and promoting a positive agenda in international relations. It also seeks to strengthen the unity of the global majority – of countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America – in order to build a just multipolar world order based on true equality, mutual respect, and universally recognised norms of international law.
❗️ Efforts to enhance cooperation with #CIS countries, expand the integration process within the #EAEU, and strengthen ties within the #CSTO and the Union State remain a top priority. Special attention should be given to the proper implementation of tasks and responsibilities during Russia’s chairmanship of the CIS and of the expanded #BRICS association.
Undoubtedly, there is significant need for efforts aimed at uniting the multinational and multi-religious Russian community through supporting our compatriots abroad, promoting the Russian language and showcasing national cultural and scientific achievements, as well as countering attempts to falsify history and revise the outcomes of World War II.
I am confident that staff members at the Ministry’s head office and foreign missions will continue to work with utmost dedication, creativity, and initiative.
