... security dialogue. This is a dormant part of this resolution. Do you think there is a possibility of actualising it? What can Russia do to create such a sphere of regional dialogue? Sergey Lavrov: These questions concern Iran. Therefore, I will answer ... ... at once. Regarding the JCPOA, I said in my opening remarks that this plan is a remarkable achievement when it comes to global diplomacy. It has not only helped us ease tension around a particular country, but it has also seriously strengthened the non-proliferation ...
Putin and Macron need each other, probably more so than they did two years ago On August 19, President of France Emmanuel Macron hosted President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin at Fort de Brégançon in the commune of Bormes-les-Mimosas in the Var department on the French Riviera. Given the vagaries of the weather this summer in France, the Mediterranean coast seemed a more suitable location ...
... think about it because their homes no longer exist and it is dangerous to go there. For this reason I consider the role of this coalition to be extremely negative. Let me repeat, this is not a coalition but the US and some of its closest allies. Our diplomacy is very effective, especially in the Middle East. There is not a single country in the region with which Russia has tensions or bad relations or no ties at all. During Soviet times we had no relations with the Saudis and had very complicated ties with the Gulf monarchies. We were on very good terms with the countries we supported – Libya, Egypt, Syria ...

... their cautious and pragmatic behaviour because they are well aware of the dangers associated with crossing the line that separates peace from war. However, the flip side of this process is exactly what we are observing now: the degradation of the art of diplomacy. There are, of course, professional diplomats both in Russia and abroad who excel at foreign politics. However, classical diplomacy in general is on the wane. It is often the case that the activity of a senior negotiator or envoy, their incessant tweets and posts on social media make one wonder if that person ...
... voting process itself—as a package, and assuming that sanctions will do the job. Rather the issue should be separated into parts, allowing a differentiated response to each part. In dealing with Russia, the priority should be to cut short any further Russian attempt to de-legitimize an election by hijacking voter registration lists and electronic poll books. This only has a chance if done through diplomacy, treating it as a question of national security—which it is—striving to agree on red lines, and ensuring that adequate verification measures are in place. Russia’s cyber effort to imperil critical U.S. infrastructure by manipulating the ...
... mutual confrontation. After all, politicians are not used to thinking 50-100 years ahead, but it is the expansion of a planning horizon that might help to restore the lost trust between the countries. Today, one should remember about the key principle of diplomacy no matter how idealistically it may sound: Russia and the West have to relearn to disagree and at the same time continue and deepen their collaboration on resolving the global challenges. To reach this goal, they need to foster professional exchange programs between academics, politicians, journalists ...
... effective. These meetings have always attracted great attention. Maybe we should take that path again. In any case, we cannot count on the sentiments of the U.S. elite changing anytime soon. What do you think about the new trend of stepping up digital diplomacy? Some Russian embassies are very active on the internet. To what degree does it help to solve the tasks they face? Of course, this work is very important. We don’t have a choice – it has to be done. But there are nuances here as well. Certainly, diplomats ...
