BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The Russian Foreign Ministry reported on Thursday that Sergey Lavrov advocated for the revival of direct communication, reciprocal travel, and exchanges at a meeting with Ma Zhaoxu, the first deputy foreign minister of China.

"In the light of the lifting of quarantine restrictions, a common opinion was expressed on the expediency of promptly restoring the dynamics of face-to-face contacts, mutual tourism, and human and humanitarian exchanges between our countries," the ministry's statement read.

Lavrov also hailed Moscow-Beijing cooperation in the UN, BRICS, SCO, and other international organizations.

"A number of topical issues on the bilateral, global, and regional agenda were discussed. A positive assessment was given to the constructive dialogue and the high level of bilateral coordination within the UN, BRICS, SCO, and other international organizations and associations, which fully meets the partnership and trust-based nature of relations between our countries," the ministry's statement said.

The two agreed that confrontational policies and attempts by individual nations to meddle in the internal affairs of other states and stifle their growth through sanctions and other illegal means should be rejected.

A growing friendship between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin has helped put the two countries closer together. The ambitions to end what China and Russia regard as America's economic and geopolitical hegemony further strengthened the diplomatic ties.

Bilateral trade between Russia and China exceeded US$100 billion in 2020, declining 3% compared to 2019. However, Moscow and Beijing want to double the volume of trade to US$200 billion by 2024.
