Lavrov: The problems of our time can only be effectively overcome through diplomacy

Foreign Minister Lavrov: Diplomacy should be intensified rather than curtailed today

Dialogue between diplomats should be intensified rather than curtailed, especially today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

“Today the dialogue should not be curtailed, but, on the contrary, intensified. It has already been repeatedly said that numerous problems of our time can be effectively overcome only through concerted efforts and on the basis of universally recognized norms of international law,” Lavrov said in a video address to the participants of the 5th Global Forum of Young Diplomats in Kazan.

According to Lavrov, the role of diplomacy should only increase today.

“It is hard to overestimate the potential of classical diplomacy, which implies adjusted compromises and a balance of interests. I am convinced that its role should increase objectively,” said the Russian Foreign Minister.
