On October 28, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov held talks with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Kuwait Abdullah Ali Al-Yahya, who is in Moscow on a working visit.

During the talks, the mutual commitment to further progressive development of multifaceted Russian-Kuwaiti relations was confirmed. Sergey Lavrov and A. Al-Yahya spoke in favor of maintaining regular political dialogue and intensifying delegation exchange. They stressed the need to deepen business partnership and ensure stable positive dynamics of bilateral trade. They noted the important coordinating role played by the Intergovernmental Russian-Kuwaiti Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation in solving these tasks.

The foreign ministers conducted a thorough “reconciliation of hours” on key topics of the international and Middle East agenda. In the context of the sharp aggravation of the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone and the Israeli-Lebanese border area, they emphasized the need to take effective measures to immediately cease fire and provide assistance to civilians affected by the fighting. They noted the importance of intensifying collective efforts in order to ensure conditions for the early resumption of a comprehensive negotiation process between the Palestinians and Israelis on all final status issues, the result of which should be the creation of an independent Palestinian State within the 1967 borders.

When discussing the situation in Syria, Sergey Lavrov and A.Al-Yahya expressed support for a comprehensive political settlement in that country based on UN Security Council Resolution 2254, preserving its unity, territorial integrity and sovereignty.

The Ministers stressed that there is no alternative to overcoming the Yemeni crisis exclusively by political and diplomatic methods – by creating the necessary prerequisites for the early launch of a full–scale inter-Yemeni national dialogue under the auspices of the United Nations.

Sergey Lavrov shared information about the results of the BRICS summit in Kazan and outlined Russia’s principled assessments and considerations in connection with the emerging geopolitical situation, including the situation around Ukraine.
