💬 President Putin: We believe it is important that all members of the association share their approaches to the situation in global politics, security, the social and economic spheres.
At the same time, our organisation is strongly committed to creating a truly just and multipolar world order, an order based on international law and common principles of mutually respectful cooperation between sovereign states with the central, coordinating role of the United Nations.
Our organisation plays an increasingly important role in international affairs and brings a substantial contribution to maintaining peace and stability, ensuring sustainable economic growth of its member states and developing ties between peoples.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in the #SCO member states who have expressed their support for the Russian leadership in defending the constitutional order, lives and security of its citizens. We greatly appreciate this.
Russia has been in favour of strengthening cooperation between the member states in investment, banking and finance, as well as in industry, energy, transport and logistics, agriculture, telecommunications, digitalisation and high tech.
Counterterrorism, countering extremism and religious radicalism, curbing drug trafficking and other types of smuggling, combating militant formations must remain a priority of the SCO.
It is a matter of satisfaction that the authority and influence of our association continue to improve, and other countries and international structures show interest in its activity. They trust us and want to be friends and work together.

📢 On 14 November 2018 ASEAN-Russia relations were elevated to a Strategic Partnership. In his article "ASEAN-Russia: Strengthening ties and exploring new horizons" Russian Ambassador to ASEAN H.E. Mr. Evgeny Zagaynov 🇷🇺 sums up the progress achieved throughout these 5 years.
💬 The platform of our Strategic Partnership has opened new wider opportunities for developing stronger, deeper and mutually beneficial relations and building a peaceful, stable, prosperous and integrated region. This July, the foreign ministers of ASEAN Member States and Russia noted the significant contribution of the ASEAN-Russia relations to the ASEAN integration and community-building process.
🔹️New avenues of collaboration, such as the Consultations of the High Representatives for Security Issues and Dialogue on ICT Security-Related Issues, have become important channels of communication, facilitating cooperation on contemporary security matters. In 2021, we held the first-ever ASEAN-Russia naval exercise. In 2022, the consultations on tourism were elevated to the ministerial level and earlier this year we convened the inaugural ASEAN-Russia Ministerial Meeting on Science, Technology and Innovation. Russia's expertise in digitalization, robotics, quantum technologies and artificial intelligence was shared with ASEAN partners during the ASEAN-Russia Year of Scientific and Technical Cooperation in 2022.
🔹️Since 2018, Russia has tripled its investment in the region, showcasing the growing economic ties. Collaborative projects in such areas as supply chain resilience, digital economy, sustainable development and creative economy are being carried out.
🔹️Given the growing energy demand in Southeast Asia, there is an immense potential for collaboration in this field, including clean energy technologies, nuclear energy and alternative energy sources.
🔹️We successfully continue to implement various educational and personnel-training projects for ASEAN, nurturing expertise and fostering cultural understanding, including programs for law-enforcement experts, epidemiologists, tour operators and other.
🔻Today is also another important anniversary, five years ago, the Memorandum of Understanding between ASEAN and the Eurasian Economic Commission was signed. Developing closer economic interaction between #ASEAN and the #EAEU holds potential for a synergy that can contribute to sustainable development in Asia and provides outstanding opportunities for member states of both organizations. To explore and promote them the EAEU Days will be held at the ASEAN Secretariat next week.
🤝In the increasingly troubled world of today with multidimensional challenges to the maintenance of peace and security, the value of long-term friendship that has withstood the test of time is of the utmost significance. In an era where collaboration and understanding are paramount, the tapestry of our ties woven through history serves as a testament to the enduring partnership between Russia and ASEAN nations.

🎙 Briefing by the Russian President's Special Representative for International Cooperation on Information Security Artur Lyukmanov
Key talking points:
💬 The Russian Federation has introduced the topic of international information security to the agenda of the UN and other multilateral and regional organizations. We have been constantly working to elaborate norms of international law and the application of norms of international law regarding to information security.
🌐 We believe that in our work within the framework of the ad hoc committee, we need to assign the greater role to the countries of Africa, Middle East, developing countries, our CIS partners that have often been suffering from the illegal use of ICTs.
• Humanity is objectively entering a digital space. There are a lot of stereotypes and mechanisms of cooperation between states that already exist there, and we see that digital crime is not just illegal, but it's also bringing in a lot of money.
From answers to questions:
☝️ Russia supports the unconditional sovereignty of a state over its information space.
• On our territory, foreign companies and foreign manufacturers should comply with the national legislation.
• We are witnessing that ICTs are being used to spread fake and misleading information, for criminal purposes, which might lead to growing lack of trust between people and states, which might lead into direct confrontation and conflicts between them.
• Fake information is used first and foremost in order to radicalize the mood of the society and turn people against each other. <...> The spread of that information is harmful to efforts not just in information security, but in efforts to ensure peace.
• Information security should be ensured through the cooperation of states at the international level.
📈 The damage every year from criminals only in the European states is over five and a half trillion euros. That is the yearly damage, and it keeps growing every year.

📰 Article by FM Sergey Lavrov (October 10, 2023)
Adherence to the UN Charter principles in their entirety and interconnection underwrite international peace and stability
Read in full
💬 The recently held general political discussion during the 78th session of the UNGA affirmed that the world is going through profound and tectonic changes.
We are witnessing the emergence of a new and fairer multipolar order that reflects the world’s cultural and civilisational diversity. The future world is taking shape in the midst of a battle. The global majority, representing 85 percent of the world's population, advocates a more equitable distribution of global resources and respect of cultural diversity, as well as consistent democratisation of international affairs. On the other hand, a select group of Western nations led by the US is endeavouring to hinder progress through neo-colonial methods and to maintain its waning dominance. <....>
Key talking points:
🔸 One can’t help but get the strong impression that the US and its subservient “Western team” have decided to impart a global dimension to the Monroe Doctrine.
🔸 Western ruling elites, in violation of the UN Charter, are telling other countries who they should maintain relations with and how.
🔸 The aggressive and self-serving approach adopted by the Western minority has sparked a major crisis in international relations, and the risks of a global conflict are running high. <...> It is critical to endeavor to turn the spirit of multipolarity enshrined in the UN Charter into reality.
🇺🇳 The mission of the United Nations lies precisely in seeking consensus, rather than dividing the world into “democracies” and “autocracies.” Russia, along with its like-minded partners, is fully prepared to contribute to this mission.
❗️ If global community members muster the determination to get back to basics and put their UN Charter commitments into practice, humanity will have a chance to overcome the destructive legacy of the unipolar era.
