Attempts by some states to revise the fundamental standards of international law underlying #UN Charter & replace them with a rules-based international order, which implies decision-making by narrow alliances in circumvention of @UN, cause serious concern➡️https://is.gd/Ex8QIA

☝❗#Moscow is concerned over reports on the escalation of tensions in #Yemen. According to the media, on the night of June 22-23, the Houthi movement Ansar Allah attacked a number of facilities with rockets and drones in Saudi Arabia’s provinces of Najran and Jizan and in the capital city of Riyadh. In turn, the anti-Houthi coalition led by Saudi Arabia dealt more than 80 air strikes against Yemen on June 23-24 alone.

We urge all sides of the Yemeni conflict to cease hostilities immediately.

We reaffirm our position of principle on the need to renounce armed confrontation in Yemen and develop an inclusive intra-Yemeni negotiating process under the aegis of the UN which will take into account the interests of all major political forces, religious and regional groups of that country. We stand for intensifying mediation efforts in a search for political solutions, the success of which will directly lead to the reduction of confrontation in and around Yemen.

For our part, we intend to continue facilitating the steps taken by #UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths to develop a comprehensive and steady dialogue designed to ensure an all-embracing and long-term solution of numerous problems that are faced by Yemen today and are largely felt by its neighbours.

❗For decades Washington has been telling other countries what they should do in case of mass protests. While demanding compliance with fundamental human rights, the United States often fuelled internal conflicts in sovereign states. Revolutions have been staged and legitimate governments have been overthrown in accordance with US instructions, as demonstrated by the Arab Spring, the so-called colour revolutions, and the most glaring example of all – the state coup in Ukraine.

How absurd these demands look against the backdrop of the current unrest in the United States itself! The US National Guard has used force, special equipment and teargas to quell the civil unrest. They even used armoured vehicles. People have been killed and wounded, and over 9,000 protesters have been detained. President Trump threatened to send federal troops to cities to end the unrest. It would not be the first time this happened in the United States: the National Guard acted ruthlessly to suppress the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

Below are several quotations by US officials, who self-righteously denounce the activities of other countries’ authorities, but choose the targets of their wrath very accurately:

🔹On May 27, #Russia’s Permanent Mission to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Jeddah, the Russian Embassy to Saudi Arabia and the Group of Strategic Vision “Russia – Islamic World,” and the Embassy of #Kazakhstan to Saudi Arabia organised an international videoconference, At the Origins of Modern Diplomatic Relations with the Islamic World: the Life and Service of Karim Khakimov and Nazim Tyuryakulov. The event was held as part of the events dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the Russian Federation joining the group as an observer.

🔹The participants were Ramazan Abdulatipov, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to #OIC; Farit Mukhametshin, Deputy Chairman of the Group of Strategic Vision “Russia – Islamic World;” Oleg Ozerov, Ambassador-at-Large and Head of the Secretariat of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum; Member of the Board - Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission Tair Mansurov; Askar Musinov, Deputy Secretary General of OIC; and Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to Saudi Arabia Berik Aryn. Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassadors of the Russian Federation, who at different times led the Soviet and Russian embassies in a number of Arab and African countries, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Association of Russian Diplomats Andrei Baklanov; and Director of the Center for the Partnership of Civilizations at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) Veniamin Popov also took part in the event.

🔹The Russian, Kazakh and Saudi participants exchanged views on the contribution made by Soviet diplomats Karim Khakimov and Nazim Tyuryakulov to laying the groundwork for relations between Russia and the Islamic world, primarily Saudi Arabia. As is known, Soviet Russia was the first country to recognise Saudi Arabia in 1926. The first Soviet envoy to hand the credentials to the founding king of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz ibn Saud, was outstanding diplomat and statesman Karim Khakimov.

🔹Opening the videoconference, Deputy Chairman of the Group of Strategic Vision “Russia – Islamic World” Farit Mukhametshin talked about the June 2 release of the book “Karim Khakimov: Chronicles” by Ambassador-at-Large Oleg Ozerov, who had previously headed the Russian embassy in Saudi Arabia for seven years and served as part-time permanent representative of Russia to the OIC for six years. According to Mr Mukhametshin, this multifaceted book combines the results of scientific research, literature, and journalism. A presentation of the book is planned, as well as an online conference with the participation of young diplomats from the CIS countries.

🔹During the videoconference, the participants discussed a number of other topics concerning the history of the progressive development of Russia’s ties with the Islamic world.

🔈Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova’s answer to Rossiya Segodnya’s question about the suggestion of US President Donald Trump to hold a G7+ summit

❓Question: What do you think about #US President Donald #Trump’s proposal to hold an expanded #G7 summit with the participation of #Russia and some other countries this autumn?

💬Maria Zakharova: First of all, I would like to say that we noted the US President’s opinion that he considers the G7 “a very outdated group of countries” that does not properly represent “what's going on in the world.” We agree. Our position on this matter is well known. It is impossible to deal with issues regarding global policy and the economy within the closed clubs of Western countries. It is objective reality.

Therefore, the idea of an expanded G7 summit is in general a step in the right direction, but does not really mean a true representation. For instance, it is obvious that it is hardly possible to implement serous global initiatives without China.

We currently have an efficient, tried and tested format, #G20, which includes G7, #BRICS and other leading centres of economic growth and political influence of the entire world, not just one part of it.
