Lavrov: Russia Ready to Contribute to Enhancing Security
Minister Sergei Lavrov
Moscow - ArabToday
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed his country's readiness to participate in different initiatives for enhancing the security of the Baltic and the Arctic region.
Following a meeting with Swedish counterpart Margot Wallstrom, Lavrov said that Russia and Sweden supported various multilateral formats, including the Arctic Council, the Barents Euro-Arctic Council, the Council of Baltic Sea States. "We also believe that we should continue to ensure security and create conditions for cooperation in the Baltic Sea region," Lavrov said.
"I see no need in an international treaty on governance of the Arctic either in terms of infrastructure, the economy or in terms of safety," Lavrov said at a press conference Tuesday.
There is no need to manage relations in the Arctic through an international treaty, Lavrov said adding that are no issues to be solved by military means or by building up a military presence either in the Arctic, or the Barents region, or the Baltic Sea.
For her part, Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom said that her country's policy of non-alignment with military blocs is firm. "Our policy is based on the conviction that peace and security are built on cooperation with other states," she said.
