MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The results of the 16th BRICS Summit held in the Russian city of Kazan demonstrate the failure of the collective West to isolate Russia in the international arena, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
The minister added that despite all Western efforts to contain Russia, all the goals of the special military operation would be achieved.
«The security of Russia, the lives, honor and dignity of our citizens and our compatriots, their right to live in the land of their ancestors, to speak their native language, to preserve their history and spiritual and moral values will be reliably ensured. This Congress clearly demonstrates that the intentions to divide the Russian world are absolutely futile,» Lavrov said.
The 8th World Congress of Russian Compatriots Living Abroad is being held in Moscow from October 30-31 under the slogan «Together with Russia.» The event will bring together some 400 leaders and activists from Russian communities in more than 100 countries.
