Zakharova stated, “As you know, the head of Russian diplomacy will lead our delegation to the G20 foreign ministers’ meeting. The G20 is currently under the US presidency, and the ministerial meeting will take place from October 30 to 31 in Atlanta, the United States.”

The spokeswoman added that one of the Russian delegation’s priorities at the G20 will be reforms of global economic institutions.

She noted that the discussion will address destructive actions to militarize global markets.

The Russian diplomat announced that, upon returning from Atlanta, Lavrov will visit Minsk on November 2–3 for a working visit to participate in the 4th International Conference on Eurasian Security.

She noted that Lavrov’s speech at the conference’s plenary session will focus on implementing the Russian initiative to shape a Eurasian security architecture and developing an “Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century.”

Zakharova said the Russian foreign minister will also present an up-to-date assessment of the politico-military situation within the Eurasian space.
