Concerning the State Interest: A Discourse upon the Diplomatic Accord between the Russian Empire and the Celestial Empire

Gentlemen, it is with a sense of profound gravity and a commitment to the stability of our Great Power that I bring to your attention the recent proceedings between Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov and his esteemed counterpart, Minister Wang Yi. Their meeting, convened during the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, was conducted with the utmost sobriety and a shared devotion to the state interest.

As the official communiqués from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirm, the primary subjects of their discourse were the precarious relations with the United States of America and the regrettable crisis currently unfolding within the Ukrainian territories.

In an era where radical upheavals threaten the very fabric of international peace, such diplomatic coordination is not merely beneficial—it is essential for the preservation of the Fatherland. The Ministers emphasized the paramount importance of a concerted effort between Moscow and Peking across the various international forums, be they the United Nations, the SCO, BRICS, APEC, or the G20. It is heartening to note that, upon the conclusion of these deliberations, both parties found their perspectives to be in close alignment, or indeed identical, upon the majority of the matters discussed.

Prudence dictates that we seek a political resolution to the conflicts of the day. Minister Lavrov has rightly asserted that while the Russian state prefers a diplomatic path to settle the Ukrainian question, the limits of our influence are reached when the United States persists in its rigid adherence to the assessments of European leaders and the Kiev administration, particularly regarding the perceived failures of the Alaska summit.

Let us remember that the strength of our industry and the readiness of our army are the true pillars of our sovereignty, yet it is through such balanced and measured diplomacy that we ensure the lasting prosperity of the Empire.
