📺 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the G20 foreign ministers’ meeting on the sidelines of the 79th Session.
📍 New York, September 25, 2024
💬 The formation of a multilateral world requires upgrading of the international governance architecture, if we want to build a more just and democratic world order based on the enduring principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and interconnection.
#G20, as a leading economic forum, can give a powerful boost to these objective processes that are dictated by life itself. We believe that the G20 should strictly adhere to its mandate and not delve into issues of peace and security and other universal problems, which the UN is here to deal with. It is important that the activities of our platform are strictly based on the principle of consensus.
At the G20 summit in New Delhi in 2023, we promised to strengthen the voice of developing countries in collective decision-making. It is necessary to translate these promises into concrete actions. The reform of international institutions, which must be considered as global public goods, should be carried out taking into account the interests of new growing centres of global development. The current conditions show that there have been significant changes in the balance of economic leaders.
📈 Two years ago, BRICS member countries surpassed the G7 in terms of real GDP. According to forecasts, the ten BRICS members will produce about 37% of the world’s output, while the G7 group will fall to 27% or even lower.
At the same time, we can see the African continent and other regions of the Global South and East quickly rising. Russia is actively reorienting its trade to their markets. This includes the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and the Caribbean, South Asia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
🌐 Innovative multilateral formats such as #BRICS (where Russia presides in 2024), the SCO, the EAEU, ASEAN, the African Union, and CELAC are becoming increasingly important.
Projects designed to align integration efforts, such as Russia’s flagship Greater Eurasian Partnership initiative, are picking up momentum.
<...>
A tangible progress has been achieved in the context of efforts to de-dollarise the international financial and economic system. In particular, the share of national currencies in Russia’s settlements with the SCO and EAEU countries has exceeded 90%. Russia and its BRICS partners have achieved an indicator equal to 65%, and this figure grows. The share of the dollar in the BRICS payments pattern is currently below 29%.
<...>
🤷♂️ Nevertheless, certain global mechanisms are still in the West’s hands, and it tends to abuse them. A matter of particular concern are the attempts on the part of the United States and its allies to impose a confrontational agenda on international organisations in order to make them the vehicles of unilateral restrictions, plunder, impoundment of sovereign assets, trade wars and unfair competition, including in the name of environmentalism and climate.
All of these are clear manifestations of neocolonialism. Over the past ten years, the collective West has introduced more than 21,000 illegal restrictions against Russia alone. Their extraterritorial use – and this is an even more odious, illegitimate, raider-style approach – is primarily affecting the poorest countries and destitute population groups, depriving them of affordable energy, food and fertiliser.
<...>
Another topical task is combat the predominance and influence of Western states’ citizens who occupy top positions in international secretariats.
🇺🇳 A reform of the global governance system should heed the intransient central role of the UN in the system of international relations. The UN Charter and international law should not be substituted by any behind-the-scenes "rules".
<...>
☝️ We should be guided by a striving to achieve genuine multilateralism, the main guarantee of strategic stability, indivisible security and an open and non-discriminatory economy.

🗓 On September 27, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov took part in the Sixth Ministerial meeting of the Group of Friends in Defence of the Charter of the United Nations held on the sidelines of the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
In his address Sergey Lavrov made an emphasis on the important role that the Group of Friends is playing in upholding the principles of the Organisation’s founding document in their totality and integrity, in raising the voice of the World Majority against the biased narrative of the “collective West” and, more broadly, in promoting a more just and equitable multipolar world order.
Sergey Lavrov welcomed the efforts by the Group of Friends in countering neocolonial designs of the Westerners, primarily illegal unilateral sanctions. He emphasised the particular relevance of the Group’s joint initiative – the draft UN General Assembly resolution on the eradication of colonialism in all its forms and manifestations, which was approved by the General Assembly Special Committee on Decolonisation on June 21.
Special attention in course of the discussion was given to the situation in the area of the Israeli-Arab conflict, given that Israel has been continuing for almost a year a military operation in the Gaza Strip, raids in the West Bank and violations of the status quo in the Holy Places of Jerusalem, as well as the projection of tensions to other countries in the region.
The Russian Side has confirmed the approaches of principle in favour of an immediate and general ceasefire, release of all the hostages and forcibly held persons, provision for a safe and stable humanitarian access to the injured and needy Palestinians, relaunch of the peace process on the generally-recognised basis of international law providing for the establishment of a sovereign and independent State of Palestine coexisting in peace and security with Israel.
🖊 The meeting resulted in the adoption of a general political declaration outlining the association’s approaches to the most acute international and regional issues.
