“As for Russia, we will continue to promote a positive, unifying agenda, focused on erasing old ones and preventing the emergence of new dividing lines,” the Foreign Minister said.
He emphasized that Russia has put forward initiatives in areas such as preventing an arms race in outer space, creating workable counter-terrorism mechanisms, including chemical and biological ones, and coordinating practical measures to prevent the use of cyberspace to undermine the security of any state or to implement other criminal plans.
Earlier, Lavrov and Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Henrietta Faure signed a memorandum of understanding between the Russian government and UNICEF.
