🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s reply to a question from "Uzbekistan-24" TV Channel
💬 Today, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and I discussed the entire range of issues in the agreements between he and President Vladimir Putin which were reached during the President of Uzbekistan’s visit to Russia last year and during their subsequent telephone conversations 🇷🇺🇺🇿
Participation in multilateral associations like the #CIS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) are a special area of bilateral cooperation. For obvious reasons, we spoke at length about the preparations for the #SCO summit in Samarkand next September.
Naturally, #Afghanistan 🇦🇫 will be prominent in our discussions. As in the past, Tashkent will again be the capital for special international meetings to discuss Afghanistan-related issues and the implications for the neighboring countries.

⚡️Main Foreign Policy Outcomes of 2022⚡️
The year 2022 saw history-making events, such as the emergence of a new international reality, and became a turning point for Russia’s foreign policy.
👉 The recognition of the Donetsk & Lugansk People’s Republics, the start of the Special Military Operation in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, the referendums held in the DPR & LPR and the liberated territories of the Zaporozhye & Kherson regions and their subsequent integration into Russia – these events will forever go down in the history of Russia.
They put an end to 30 years of Russia’s honest attempts to develop equitable relations with the collective West.
✍️ Russia & other like-minded countries adopted a political declaration in support of the inviolability of the UN Charter.
✍️ An overwhelming majority of states members of the UN GA approved the annual Russia-initiated resolution on combating the glorification of Nazism.
✍️ At Russia’s initiative, the Joint Statement of the Leaders of the 5 Nuclear-Weapon States on Preventing Nuclear War & Avoiding Arms Races was adopted in January 2022.
✅ International cooperation within the framework of the #EAEU, #SCO & #BRICS made rapid headway.
✅ Allied relations with Belarus continued to grow stronger.
✅ Several major initiatives have been implemented within the framework of the #CIS aimed at strengthening integration ties in all spheres of the organisation’s activities.
✅ The mechanisms of the #CSTO operated efficiently.
Russian diplomats have significantly stepped up efforts to achieve the peaceful settlement of international conflicts. Russia extensively supported stabilising the situation in Afghanistan. Russia has promoted a complex approach to the Syrian dossier, including within the Astana format. We have promoted comprehensive normalisation of the relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
We have successfully developed ties with our many international partners who are interested in maintaining a constructive dialogue with Russia.
