Mr. Lavrov suggested calling the state of affairs by its true name, “No one allowed the Western minority to speak on behalf of all mankind. We must behave decently and respect all members of the international community.”

The Foreign Minister added that it has long been ‘inconvenient for Western countries to negotiate in universal formats, such as the UN’. According to him, the United States is creating ‘elite clubs that bypass the UN’. In particular, Mr. Lavrov mentioned the Alliance for Multilateralism, the Global Partnership for Artificial Intelligence, and others.

"All these non-inclusive projects have been invented to undermine negotiations on relevant topics under the UN auspices, to impose non-consensual concepts and solutions beneficial to the West," the Russian Foreign Minister stated.
