"Even in today's difficult international environment, the Russian Foreign Ministry firmly and consistently defends Russia's legitimate national interests, ensures productive cooperation with the majority of countries in order to build a just multipolar world order based on mutual respect, international law, and the principles of equal and indivisible security," Putin said, congratulating employees and veterans of the Russian Foreign Ministry on Diplomatic Workers’ Day, TASS reported.
The successful work of Russia’s BRICS chairmanship in 2024 and the success of the group’s summit in Kazan validate all the things mentioned, the Russian president noted.
