“Carefully preserving the system of international relations formed by the results of the Second World War, the core of which remains the UN, it is necessary to carefully but consistently adapt it to the realities of the modern geopolitical landscape,” Lavrov noted.

According to him, this "fully applies to the UN Security Council, where the West is unreasonably overrepresented by modern standards."

“We are convinced that the reform of the Security Council should first of all take into account the interests of the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and any formula should be based on the principle of the broadest possible consent of the UN member states,” the Foreign Minister noted.

Earlier it was reported that from September 1, Russia for a month became the chairman of the UN Security Council.
