FOREIGN MINISTER SERGEY LAVROV’S SPEECH AT A RECEPTION ON THE OCCASION OF THE ISLAMIC NEW YEAR, MOSCOW, OCTOBER 3, 2016
We are happy to welcome you at this event devoted to the Islamic New Year. By tradition we are celebrating it with the ambassadors of the member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), representatives of Russian federal authorities and major Russian religious associations, public figures, academics and political scientists.
Relations between Russia and Muslim nations are friendly and based on mutual respect and consideration of each other’s interests. Working together, in the past few years we have achieved meaningful results in our efforts to bolster multifaceted ties for the benefit of our nations. The OIC is our partner in the search for answers to the many challenges and threats of our times and in promoting dialogue between different civilisations, religions and cultures.
