Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed a conference of young diplomats from the Asia-Pacific region who met on the sidelines of Vladivostok’s annual Eastern Economic Forum, and told them, according to TASS: “Today we can see the formation of a truly multipolar world order. This process is accompanied by a shift of the centers of world development to Eurasia and the Asia-Pacific Region, strengthening the potential of crucial associations such as the Eurasian Economic Union, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and ASEAN. Our country has traditionally been open for close cooperation with all those who share the values of equality and mutual respect. Your forum allows us to implement this in practice.”
