MOSCOW, January 15. /TASS/. The situation in the international arena is getting increasingly worse, and what mankind needs now is more cooperation between the world’s nations, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a ceremony of presenting credentials of new ambassadors.
He also suggested returning to a substantive discussion of Russian initiatives on a new and fair security architecture.
TASS has compiled the key statements of the head of state.
The situation in the international arena is "deteriorating more and more": "It seems to me that no one will argue with this."
Diplomacy, the search for consensus and compromise are increasingly being replaced by unilateral, "and very dangerous actions": "And instead of dialogue between states, there is a monologue by those who, by right of the strong, consider it permissible to dictate their will, teach others how to live and give orders."
