India, Russia are consistent opponents of illegitimate unilateral sanctions: Lavrov

The Hindu  

March 01, 2023 12:49 pm | Updated March 02, 2023 12:26 am IST - NEW DELHI India and Russia are “consistent opponents of illegitimate unilateral sanctions”, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said here on Wednesday. Ahead of Mr. Lavrov’s arrival, the Russian Foreign Ministry said he would take up the suspected sabotage of the Nord Stream II gas pipeline during the “regular” segment of the G-20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on Thursday. We will present an unbiased factual picture of the act of terrorism — the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipeline in the EU and NATO zone of responsibility, and the illegal seizing of Russian humanitarian fertilizer shipments designated for African and other needy countries,” the Foreign Ministry said in a comment about Mr Lavrov’s agenda at the G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting.. Russia reiterated support for the Indian Presidency of G-20 and also said that it will work “together with Indian colleagues to achieve the desired result,” adding, “at the same time, we will firmly defend Russia’s fundamental interests and an international world order based on the central role of the UN and international law”. The Russian Foreign Ministry gave a hint of Mr. Lavrov’s strategy at the events saying, “The entire world is suffering from the cynical revelry of illegal sanctions, the artificial breakup of cross-border supply chains, the imposition of notorious price ceilings and, in effect, from attempts to steal natural resources.” The Russian Foreign Minister is expected to engage the Indian side to “further advance cooperation”.
