Russian top diplomat to brief parliament on key foreign policy issues
It is assumed that in his speech and subsequent conversation with parliamentarians, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry will pay special attention to a special military operation | Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will address the plenary session of the Russian parliament, the State Duma, and discuss key areas of the country’s foreign policy with Russian lawmakers. ● The previous event of this kind was held on January 26, 2022. Back then, before the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, Lavrov warned that Western countries were goading the Ukrainian regime into committing direct provocations against Russia. He also drew attention to profound negative changes in global politics. ● Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Lavrov’s annual meetings with parliamentarians allow for enhancing the interaction between the executive and legislative branches of power, exchanging views on the current international situation and outlining ways of further promoting Russia’s common foreign policy through joint efforts.
