For Russia, it makes no sense to maintain the former diplomatic presence in the Western countries. It is impossible for diplomats to work there, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Russian media write.
“does not make sense and desire to maintain the former presence in Western countries. Our people work in conditions that are hardly called human. They create constant problems, threats of physical attacks. The main thing is that there is no work since Europe decided to close from we will not stop any economic cooperation. You won’t be forcibly sweet, ”he said.
The minister noted that now Russian diplomacy is reoriented. “The countries of the so -called third world (in Asia, Africa, Latin America), on the contrary, need additional attention. Many plans at the highest and high level are agreed, which require diplomatic support, including in terms of business support, joint cultural, humanitarian , educational projects, ”said Sergey Lavrov.
