✉️ Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sent greetings to the organisers, participants and guests of the Dialogue of Young Diplomats of the Greater Eurasian Partnership (August 29, 2026) ✍️ I extend my warmest welcome to the organisers, participants, and guests of the Dialogue of Young Diplomats of the Greater Eurasian Partnership countries in Kazan. The current stage of global development, marked by the strengthening of multipolar principles in international affairs, presents vast opportunities for building new and more equitable mechanisms of global economic cooperation. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s initiative to establish a #GreaterEurasianPartnership is intended to consolidate integration processes across the continent, facilitate the removal of barriers in trade and investment, and foster more sophisticated, balanced, and reliable economic ties throughout the vast #Eurasia. Young foreign policy professionals will have a vital role to play in this ambitious endeavour. Before long, it will be your responsibility to coordinate the strategies and plans of your respective countries in pursuit of the wellbeing and prosperity of our shared continent. I am confident that today’s meeting will provide a constructive platform for dialogue, enable the establishment of meaningful professional contacts, and contribute to further strengthening the bonds of friendship and trust among our countries. 🤝 I wish you fruitful discussions and all the very best. Sergey Lavrov
