is not subject to. uh, this or that e change in the international conjuncture this year. we celebrate significant events 195 years on the anniversary of the establishment diplomatic relations between russia and brazil. this happened on october 3rd , 1000 828, and we agreed to prepare for this memorable event a series of events that will include contacts. historians and exhibitions including archival and of course cultural events, we also noted that in today's meeting took place. uh, a couple of days before the next one. a memorable day in the history of brazilian diplomacy, i mean the day of the diplomat, which is celebrated here on april 20 and i take this opportunity. and we want congratulate all employees of the ministry

of foreign affairs. to all those who work in the brazilian foreign service with this important holiday. as i said, we have reaffirmed our focus on developing our strategic partnership. in all areas, special attention was paid to trade, economic cooperation and investment cooperation, where last year it reached a record level exceeding $8 billion. this is far from the limit, and today we talked about those areas that, uh, need to be developed in the interests of our countries and our citizens. it is, of course, energy. this, of course, is such a sphere of energy as peaceful. nuclear energy here has very good synergies and good prospects. this peaceful use of outer space, agriculture , health care, pharmaceuticals agreed on everything

that has been done in recent years to agree on an agreement on legal documents. e, and for the further development of interaction , our experts will make an inventory of this, and, first of all, economic the financial aspect of cooperation on transport and logistics, but also certainly also continue to develop excellent attitude towards cultural, humanitarian educational field, uh, and uh, a special role to strengthen. the whole complex of strategic partnership relations. uh, of course, we assign, uh, by the bilateral mechanism of interaction , first of all, high-level commissions, which are headed from the russian side by representatives of the government of russia and from the brazilian side by the vice president of this country and, uh, to this commission and high-level

two more structures are included, one intergovernmental commission on trade, economic, scientific and technical cooperation and the second commission on political issues, and due to the pause that was associated mainly with anti-gorite restrictions, these structures have not met for a long time. and today we have outlined a schedule that will allow them to resume their irregular work and, as i said, to inventory all those issues of specific projects that require special attention. we talked a lot about topical issues of the international regional agenda, we state that the approaches of russia and brazil to the events that are currently taking place in the world are in tune with us are united by a common desire to assist in the formation of a more just, truly

democratic, polycentric world order, which would be based on the fundamental international legal principle of sovereign equality states. apparently just in this. this is a guarantee that multipolarity will be fair and will reflect interests. all without the exception of the state. not just any one group of countries and in this regard. uh, we have uh, a common approach to the task of reforming the institutions of global governance, there has been a lot about this lately. the president of vula spoke. and this also applies to financial institutions and the task of expanding representation in these financial institutions and developing countries. we are also united in what my colleague just said. uh, what, that unilateral sanctions bypassing

the un security council, we consider them illegitimate and, uh, they hurt because politicize the work of specialized international platforms. we have touched on the situation that we are now witnessing in the sphere of global governance, when there is a fairly tough struggle for our western colleagues to maintain their dominant position in world affairs and financial economics in the political spheres of security. and that's what gave the impetus. we are grateful to the brazilian friends for the excellent understanding of the current state of affairs between the russian federation and the nato european union in terms of the processes in ukraine. the genesis of this situation hmm appreciation for

the effort to contribute. uh, contribution to the search for ways to resolve it. and today we talked about the context that must be kept in mind in order to solve such problems not on a momentary basis, but on the basis of long-term agreements, which will be, first of all , an operation on principle. multilateralism and taking into account the interests in the field of security of all states without exception - this is the very principle of the indivisibility of security, when no country will e strengthen its security at the expense of the security of others, but will not try to dominate anyone in this area. this is how the political obligations that the west , together with our country, with ukraine, with other countries, sounded. in the post-soviet space, at the beginning of the 2000s, within the framework of the organization for security cooperation in europe, it solemnly assumed

those very obligations that the west did not even try to fulfill, but rather did everything in the exact opposite direction, trying to dominate the international and it is clear that we interested in the ukrainian conflict ended as soon as possible, and we have already explained in detail more than once, and the reasons for what is happening are the goals that we are pursuing in this regard. they consist, first of all, in guaranteeing the absence of any threats to the military security of the russian federation on the territory of ukraine. the west has been implementing such plans for many years and the second task, of course, is to protect the life and legal rights of the russian-speaking population of the east and south of ukraine, the rights that have been violated over the years by adopting a series of

laws in the ukrainian parliament, which were consistently banned education in russian media in russian banned cultural events in russian and deliberately destroyed millions of volumes of books in russian that were in ukrainian libraries and these goals, i am sure, are shared by any person , which is committed to e, a sign of this principle, laid down in international conventions for the protection and in ensuring the rights of national minorities, there are many such conventions and on at the european level and at the level of the organization of exchange nations at the level of unesco, all of them were grossly violated by the ukrainian regime as part of our common efforts. uh, uh, promotion. uh, a fair reform of the mechanisms of global governance institutions.

we will work closely over there in its security council, where brazil is currently a non-permanent member, and we reaffirmed today our support for brazil's bid to get a permanent residence as well. in the un security council, too, how we support india and in this regard also support the need to serve the interests of the african continent, brazil is now uh preparing to lead the uh group of twenty next year, and next year we will preside over the unification brix is ​​a good opportunity in the context of coordination of our foreign policy actions to see how we can mutually benefit from this situation here are the members. the twenties, in

addition, the twenties is a whole group of countries, uh, participating, which, on a matter of principle acted from the same positions as the countries of the briks e association, so we will coordinate on these issues. with assessments, as well as in other areas, which are reflected in the current plan of foreign policy consultations between our ministries for 2022-2025 in a regional context. we spoke about the processes of political and economic integration. in latin america, we applaud the focus of president lola do silva, and of brazilian brazilian diplomats in general, on strengthening regional mechanisms. such as mercassur. we have surtur. we welcomed our steps that brazil is taking to restore full relations with all

countries of the latin american region of the caribbean. in general, the negotiations. were very useful confirmed the mutual intention to further strengthen our strategic partnership. i invited mr. minister. at a convenient time for him to visit the russian federation and e, all our employees will remain in close contact on the relevant directions of our our relations. thank you. ok, the event is closed. it was a live broadcast from brazil of a press conference by sergei lavrov and the head of the brazilian mida maura viera. life

is a search for a path time to make the right decision. overcoming obstacles. your bread so that hard work. you wake up with a smile and the road calls you back on the road, you do your work, i test myself for strength. be confident in yourself as well as we are confident in the thermal insulation of foam plastic heat at home. a we return to one of the main topics of the day of the surprise inspection in the pacific fleet. anastasia efimova for details 25,000 servicemen 167 warships and support vessels, including 12 submarines 89 aircraft and helicopters sudden check of the pacific fleet. and during which the minister

of defense reported to the president, the anti-submarine forces on duty will search for submarines on the approaches behind the left of peter the great i in the achinsk bay. naval aviation of the pacific fleet is dispersed in operational areas german long-range aviation aircraft have been relocated to advanced airfields the combat stability of strategic missile submarines and their readiness for the use of weapons sergey koshelevich it is obvious to us that today we have clear priorities for the use of the armed forces and , above all, this concerns, yes, the ukrainian direction and everything related to the protection of our people on donbass in other new territories, but the task is to develop the fleet, including in the pacific theater. no one, he did not film me, and therefore i ask you this

work unconditionally. continue to draw attention, even to the development and preparation of activities in other fleets. oh, and besides everything else, of course, the strength of the fleet is in its individual. no , of course, this is used and yes in conflicts in any direction, so i also had to keep in mind 11 ships and 70 aircraft, including fighters , electronic warfare aircraft, as well as a reconnaissance strike drone. this is the exercise of the national liberation army of china, which ended in the taiwan area just a few days before the start russian maneuvers, these exercises of the pacific fleet. they are so combined, they unite aviation. uh, ships are submarines, that's all. you know, a boiling cauldron

goes on day and night, uh, exercises are being carried out firing at naval air targets , and aviation, surface ships, and submarines are participating at the same time. that is, this is a very serious complex test for the chechen fleet. well, at the same time. uh, in my opinion , a victim of china's support are you that relations between the armed forces of the two powers are getting stronger day by day from the day confirmed and the day before in the kremlin where vladimir putin met with the minister of defense of china on the one hand. it is already a tradition that all the head of the prc defense department over the past 10 years made their first foreign visit to moscow, however, in the case of generals, only a special shanfu. for 5 years now, he has been on the us sanctions list where he got for buying su-35 combat aircraft and s-400 complexes from russia and promoting him to the minister. in the context of recent geopolitical events , the signal is completely unambiguous between

our strange ones. uh, it goes in all directions, it is very good for the development of relations in the economy in the social cultural in the educational sector. well, in terms of military types. we also work actively regularly, exchange. uh, useful information for us, we cooperate in the field of military technical cooperation, we conduct joint exercises. and moreover, at different theaters and in the far east region and in europe and at sea, on land and in the air. i think that this is certainly another important area that strengthens exceptionally trusting the strategic nature of our relations between

the russian federation and the people's republic of china. we have a very strong relationship. they are superior to the military-political alliances of the cold war, built on the principles of non-alignment, non-opposition to a third party value, and they are very stable under the strategic leadership of you and the chairman. we are actively developing cooperation in practical areas. and our relationship has already begun. a new era. and what kind of third party, does the shanfu say, it’s not even worth guessing, because the conducted according to the prc itself, china’s exercises around taiwan are a response to the serious illegal actions of the united states , whose activity in the region has only been growing in recent years. and contrary to official statements , it is being destabilized, which obviously neither moscow nor beijing can ignore. this is a signal

to an aggressive western state, because we remember that last year the us white house administration stated that, although they do not withdraw recognition of taiwan, fortunately for chinese territory. if china puts things in order there, they intend use military force in fact and this threat of aggression in the real integrity series. china, given that russia is now facing the same threat with an attempt to dismember our country, and using ukrainian extremists, russia read join their efforts to defend against the us nato and other aggressive states, the first stage of a surprise check of the pacific fleet was held at a very high level. this is the president's assessment. now the second grouping with the tasks of combat maneuvering and opening the underwater situation is moving into

the southern part of the sea of ​​okhotsk, in the waters of which, along with the japanese and bering seas , the officially deployed russian forces, china’s official action in the taiwan area and russian maneuvers are two separate independent events. if you look at the map. here is chukotka and to vietnam there is a big arc. here is such huge on the floor. e of the western hemisphere. yes, uh, then you will notice that this arc passes through the territory of the russian federation and through the territory of china, and this is the arc of security , the arc of stability that creates the fleet of the pacific and the navy of china. yes , and in this sense, the teachings of the pacific fleets and the teachings of the naval forces of china are of course. united that is why what is happening on

the japanese islands, including the sakenawas, where the military bases of the united states have been located for the past seventy years , are certainly being watched especially closely. after all, when, on the one hand, beijing defends the borders and, on the other, guards its interests. moscow washington runs the risk of falling into a trap set for itself by anastasia efimova's long-term conviction of its own exclusivity.
