Russian Foreign Minister to arrive in New Delhi next week Ukraine, regional security on agenda #IndiaNEWS #National
<br>Lavrov and Jaishankar are expected to exchange assessments of topical international issues, including interaction under the Indian chairmanship of the SCO and the G20, as well as coordination of approaches in the UN, BRICS and RIC (Russia, India, China).
A number of regional topics will be touched upon, including the formation of a security architecture in the Asia-Pacific region, the state of affairs in Afghanistan, and the situation in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in Moscow on Lavrovs March 1-3 visit to the Indian capital.
Zakharova detailed that the heads of the foreign ministries of Russia and India will discuss ways to further advance cooperation in key areas, as well as synchronize watches on the schedule of upcoming contacts.
The main thematic blocks are trade and investment, transport and logistics cooperation, the use of national currencies in mutual settlements, and promising projects in the energy sector, she added.
Moscow stated that it considers the G20 platform as a key forum for global governance.
The demand for diplomatic dialogue through the G20 has increased significantly against the backdrop of a progressive confrontation in international relations, growing risks for the global economy, and de facto bullying by Western political regimes, commented Zakharova on Wednesday.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson told reporters that during the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting, held under the unifying slogan of the Indian chairmanship about the commonality of the planet and its future, it is planned to touch upon the issues of capacity building and reform of international institutions, strengthening the positions of developing states in making collective decisions.
The focus of attention will also be the topics of energy and food security, the fight against terrorism.
The conceptual framework of the upcoming discussions set by the Indians corresponds to the logic of the formation of a polycentric world economic system.
On the Russian side, it is meant to focus on building equal and mutually respectful interstate cooperation, reaffirm the central role of the UN and international law, once again draw attention to the perniciousness of illegitimate sanctions, unfair competition, protectionism and the urgency in this regard of collective opposition to Western domination and neo-colonial practices, said Zakharova.
Lavrov is expected to hold several other important meetings on the sidelines of the Council of Foreign Ministers with Moscow working out contacts with the Minister and colleagues from other states, in particular Brazil and China besides India.
During his stay in New Delhi, Lavrov will also take part in one of the sessions of Indias annual premier conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics, the Raisina Dialogue.
