Efforts by Washington and its satellites to isolate Moscow are failing completely, with the global majority being unwilling "to pull the chestnuts out of the fire" for former colonial powers, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said addressing the conference, conducted with the participation of the International Russophile Movement.The Russian foreign minister noted that the movement toward global multipolarity today is a fact, a geopolitical reality. Lavrov also pointed to the significant decline in the G7 share of the global economy over the past three decades, whereas the weight of emerging market economies is steadily growing.Lavrov noted that in today's multipolar world, the only reasonable alternative to confrontation is to unite the efforts of the key world centers on the principles of the UN Charter, including ensuring respect for the sovereign equality of states, he pointed out. Russia continues to be at the forefront of international efforts to strengthen multipolarity, legal and democratic principles of inter-state communication and will continue to work actively on the UN platform, including the Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter, the Russian Foreign Minister added. Moscow would also continue to coordinate its steps closely with its allies and like-minded allies, including those in the CSTO, EAEC, CIS, BRICS, SCO and other regional associations of the developing world, he summarized.The Global Conference on Multipolarity, held on 29 April and initiated by a group of political and social activists from Brazil, China and India, with the active participation of the International Russophile Movement (IRM), is an important intellectual contribution to defending the sovereign equality of all nations and the right of peoples to determine their own future, without outside interference, as opposed to the conflicting and hegemonic course taken by 'the collective West', the Russian Foreign Ministry noted ahead of the conference.The event has been designed to unite politicians, public figures, journalists, and representatives of academic and cultural circles from around the world, who support multipolarity, building more just and democratic interstate relations, following the fundamental principles of the UN Charter as a whole, the ministry added.

West 'Failed Completely' to Isolate Russia by Forcing World to Follow Their 'Rules', Lavrov Says
11:55 29.04.2023 (Updated: 10:48 03.08.2023) On Saturday, Lavrov addressed the online Global Conference on Multipolarity, which, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry, was attended by more than 100 experts from over 60 countries, who discussed, above all, the topic of the new world order.
Efforts by Washington and its satellites to isolate Moscow are failing completely, with the global majority being unwilling "to pull the chestnuts out of the fire" for former colonial powers, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said addressing the conference, conducted with the participation of the International Russophile Movement.
"It seems only natural that efforts by Washington and its satellites to reverse the course of history and force the international community to live up to a ‘rules-based world order’ have failed. I will only mention the completely failed attempt to isolate Russia that the Westerners have been pursuing." Russia's top diplomat said in his address. "The majority of countries inhabited by some 85 percent of the world’s population are reluctant to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for former colonial powers."
The Russian foreign
minister noted that the movement toward global multipolarity today is a fact, a geopolitical reality.
"We see the new world centers - primarily in Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America - making impressive progress in various fields, based on independence, state sovereignty and cultural and civilizational identity. In this process, they are guided by their vital national interests and pursue independent policies in domestic and foreign affairs. They no longer want to play someone else’s geopolitical games and perform someone else’s will," the minister stressed.
Lavrov also pointed to the significant decline in the G7 share of the global economy over the past three decades, whereas the weight of emerging market economies is steadily growing.
"Today China, which skillfully combines market mechanisms and state methods of regulation, is World Economic Power No1 in its purchasing power parity," Russia’s top diplomat said.
Lavrov noted that in today's multipolar world, the only reasonable alternative to confrontation is to unite the efforts of the key world centers on the principles of the UN Charter, including ensuring respect for the sovereign equality of states, he pointed out.
"Today we all need to recognize the irreversibility of the formation of a more equitable polycentric system of world order. It is in the common interest to ensure that the multipolar architecture is based not on a 'balance of fear' but on a balance of interests, on universally recognized norms of international law, on mutually respectful dialogue between different civilizations, religions and cultures," Lavrov said.
Russia continues to be at the forefront of international efforts to strengthen multipolarity, legal and democratic principles of inter-state communication and will continue to work actively on the UN platform, including the Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter, the Russian Foreign Minister added. Moscow would also continue to coordinate its steps closely with its allies and like-minded allies, including those in the CSTO, EAEC, CIS, BRICS, SCO and other regional associations of the developing world, he summarized.
The Global Conference on Multipolarity, held on 29 April and initiated by a group of political and social activists from Brazil, China and India, with the active participation of the International Russophile Movement (IRM), is an important intellectual contribution to defending the sovereign equality of all nations and the right of peoples to determine their own future, without outside interference, as opposed to the conflicting and hegemonic course taken by 'the collective West', the Russian Foreign Ministry
noted ahead of the conference.
The event has been designed to unite politicians, public figures, journalists, and representatives of academic and cultural circles from around the world, who support multipolarity, building more just and democratic interstate relations, following the fundamental principles of the UN Charter as a whole, the ministry added.
