Lavrov Doesn’t Fear International Isolation
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov doesn’t appear particularly agitated about the threats to isolate Russia.
“How they will do it, I don’t know,” Lavrov said in the air of Echo of Moscow on Thursday. “I’ve heard threats they won’t admit us to the WTO. As it is, no one intends to admit us there, we are getting more and more certain of it. Each time, excuse me for exceptionable remark, they are playing games with us,” the minister said.
“RF President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin always reiterate that we are willing to join the WTO under the mutually beneficial terms,” Lavrov pointed out.
In Russia, there is no hostile, biased attitude towards Georgia, Lavrov emphasized. “No hostile, biased attitude. We want to be friends and sincerely enjoy this friendship.”
The dialogue with the United States won’t interrupt, Lavrov said when asked about Russia’s-U.S. relations. “We have vast agenda,” he specified, adding that he spoke with State Secretary Condoleezza Rice five times during the military operation in South Ossetia.
