Moscow will not hide its attitude to the West’s attempts to undermine Russia’s cooperation with its allies. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a press conference after negotiations with his Kazakh counterpart Murat Nurtleu.
Lavrov stressed that Russia is not against Kazakhstan’s interaction with Western states. However, it must be mutually beneficial, fair and conducted in accordance with international law.
“If we talk about the fact that instead of interacting on the principles I mentioned, Western countries will try to engage in threats, blackmail, force our allies to undermine relations with the Russian Federation to the detriment of their own national interests, then, of course, we will not hide their attitude to such attempts,” Lavrov said.
According to him, Kazakhstan, as well as the partners of the CSTO, EurAsEC and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization “understand what is at stake”.
