MOSCOW, March 24. /TASS/. The events in Latin America and the Middle East directly stem from the West’s attempts to preserve the remnants of its dominance, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting of the Gorchakov Fund’s Board of Trustees.
He noted that some international relations experts have already begun to refer to the conflicts unfolding around the world as World War III.
TASS has compiled the foreign minister’s key statements.
Western elites continue to "invest in confrontation" with Russia: "The Western minority, or rather the elites of Western countries, continue to invest whatever political and economic resources they have left in their confrontation with our country."
The Russian side, "together with its African friends," is preparing for the next Russia-Africa summit, which will take place in Moscow this October.
