Confrontational politics on the way out, the global shift towards diplomacy is obvious – Lavrov – Russian Politics and Diplomacy

MINSK, October 31. /TASS/. More and more countries are realizing the benefits of diplomacy in conflict situations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a meeting with Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Vulin during the II International Conference on Eurasian Security in Minsk.

“The discussions that will take place today, as last year, are very useful and indicative of the fact that many countries, the number of which is growing, are increasingly aware of the importance of abandoning confrontation and trying to reach agreements, seeking a balance of interests. It’s inevitable. And politicians who don’t want to understand this, don’t want to admit the facts, their time is coming to an end, and it will end quite quickly,” the Russian leader said, the diplomat said.

Vulin, in turn, noted that “the era of the unipolar world is over.” “The BRICS summit in Kazan demonstrated this,” he emphasized.
