🇷🇺 On October 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the 16th #EastAsiaSummit (EAS).
💬 The East Asia Summits provide a good opportunity to discuss the situation in the Asia-Pacific Region, map out possible solutions to the most challenging problems and coordinate measures to maintain peace and stability and to strengthen mutually beneficial multilateral #cooperation.
Our common region has indeed become one of the most dynamic global centres of political, #business and #investment activity. At the same time, it is facing serious challenges and threats in terms of security, and economic and social development, which have been augmented by the #coronavirus during the past two years.
🤝 Russia has consistently advocated forming a system of equal and indivisible security in the #APR and strengthening the atmosphere of constructive cooperation based on international law, including respect for the sovereignty, equality and consideration of each other's interests.
