Major events of 2010 through the lens of Russian diplomacy — RT: "What mark did 2010 leave on the history of Russian diplomacy and what results were accomplished? Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov highlights key events of the past year at a press conference in Moscow.
The Russian Foreign Minister started his speech by voicing the main conclusion for the year: that the tendency for forming a new multi-polar world is continuing, despite of the fact that not everyone on the international arena is ready for these changes.
He also reaffirmed the main objective of Russian foreign policy, as defined by President Dmitry Medvedev – achieving concrete and understandable results to create conditions for Russia’s internal development and modernization. In this aspect, the foreign minister said, Russia’s achievements in 2010, such as the creation of the Customs Union between Russia and Kazakhstan, the creation of a single Eurasian political space and the strengthening of the Collective Security Treaty were very important."
