🎙 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.

⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s video greetings on Diplomatic Worker’s Day (Moscow, February 10, 2024)

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.

On the history of 🇷🇺Russia-🇵🇭Philippines relations
On June 2, 1976, during the visit of the President of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos Sr. to Moscow the relevant document was signed establishing diplomatic relations between the USSR and the Republic of the Philippines.
An exchange of ambassadors took place in 1977, and the first Soviet Ambassador in Manila was the remarkable diplomat Valerian Vladimirovich Mikhailov who held the office from October 22, 1977 to July 21, 1981.
V.V. Mikhailov (March 22, 1926 – May 31, 2018) was born in the City of Kashira, Moscow region and had a fruitful diplomatic life. After graduating from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations in 1952, he entered the diplomatic service, and worked his way up from junior officer to Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. He served in the different departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the USSR Embassy in the USA.
The highest position of his great career was his mission to the Philippines, where he happened to be the first Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Soviet Union to the Republic of the Philippines who laid the political, economic and legal bases for further development of bilateral relations.
The entire life of V.V. Mikhailov is an example of selfless and devoted service to the Motherland, conscientious approach to the work. He was always distinguished by high professionalism, precision in work and exceptional responsibility. He was a skilled professional and at the same time remained friendly, humble and empathetic person.
Thank you, dear Valerian Vladimirovich!

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a gala meeting devoted to Diplomatic Worker’s Day (Moscow, February 9, 2024)
Key talking points:
🔵 This is not the first time that our country is at the peak of geopolitical processes. This is why Russia’s place in the emerging multipolar world and the future of the world itself largely depends on us, on our dedication and a correct understanding of the priorities.
🔵 The US-led collective West is not letting up in its attempts to impose an unfair unipolar global arrangement on the world.
🔵 Acting together with the countries of the global majority, our associates in the international arena, we will continue working for the unconditional guarantees for our lawful interests in regional security based on the principle of an indivisible Russia.
🔵 The hybrid war unleashed by the West against those who object to its global striving to maintain its domination is creating not only obstacles but also impetuses for strengthening versatile ties.
🔵 We intend to continue consolidating our strategic partnerships with the PRC, India, Brazil, South Africa, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and a vast number of other countries that share our conceptual approaches to the world situation and the prospects for the development of our common planet.
🔵 We attach primary importance to reaching the goals of Russia’s current presidency in the #CIS and the expanded #BRICS.
🔵 We focus in particular on advancing BRICS’ relations with regional and sub-regional association from the Global South
🔵 We will continue to work within the #G20, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum, the East Asia Summit mechanisms, and other multilateral associations that include the participation of Western representatives.
🔵 We will do our best to help further strengthen the #SCO in the interests of effectively addressing pressing international issues and promoting our concept for strengthening Eurasian security across the board.
