Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a video address to attendees of an international conference titled "The Role of Public Diplomacy in the Establishment, Recovery, and Development of Russia-China Relations," dedicated to the 65th anniversary of the Russia-China Friendship Association, that the West as a whole employs the dirtiest geopolitical engineering techniques against Moscow and Beijing to maintain its hegemony.

"Today, the collective West is frantically trying to maintain its hegemony, using utterly unscrupulous methods of geopolitical engineering against Russia and China, whom it has picked as its main adversaries," the Russian top diplomat noted.

According to him, given this situation, Moscow and Beijing maintain close foreign policy coordination. "Ties between Moscow and Beijing are one of the key factors in terms of efforts to democratize international relations and establish a more just multipolar world order," Lavrov emphasized.

The Russian Foreign Minister also highlighted firm support for those efforts from the general public remained an important tool for improving the large-scale system of bilateral cooperation. "The activities of our politicians and diplomats would have been less effective without the support of public diplomacy. Its contribution to the promotion of the unbiased image of our countries and the popularization of each other’s best achievements in the fields of science, culture, and art is relevant and weighty," Lavrov stressed.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that "there is no stability in relations with the West at all today, as they often reject already signed documents."

"Today they say one thing and tomorrow another. They sign documents and tomorrow they reject them. They do whatever they want. There is no stability in anything. It's completely unclear which documents to sign, what to talk about, and what to hope for," Putin said at a plenary session of the Valdai Discussion Club think tank in Moscow.

The President also said that the arrogant aspiration to lead the world and to dictate or preserve leadership by dictate results in the decline of the international authority of Western leaders, including the United States, and in the growth of distrust in their ability to negotiate.

Putin called on changing the structure of the United Nations and the UN Security Council to reflect the world's diversity.
