The message reads, in part:

“The Non-Aligned Movement rightfully enjoys great authority on the world stage. This representative group, which unites more than half of the countries on the planet, plays a crucial role in building a more just, democratic and multipolar system of international relations.

Russia consistently supports the participants in the Movement in their efforts to protect the principles of unconditional equality of all states, respect for their sovereignty and legitimate interests in strict accordance with the spirit and letter of the UN Charter. Together, we advocate for a constructive dialogue between members of the global community, based on generally recognised and binding for all norms of international law. We are fully united in our rejection of neo-colonialist ambitions, double standards, power politics, dictate and blackmail as a means of achieving foreign policy and foreign economic goals.

The further expansion of the partnership between our country and the Non-Aligned Movement will help resolve many pressing issues on the regional and global agenda and strengthen security and stability in the world.”
