DUSHANBE, April 15. /TASS/. Russia will continue to boost ties in all areas with the countries of the Global South and East, who share a commitment to the UN Charter's principles and advocate respect for the right of peoples to determine their own fate, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a message read out by Russian Ambassador in Dushanbe Semyon Grigoryev at the International Cultural and Civilization Forum "Traditional Values of the Eastern Peoples and the Modern World."

"Russia continues its intensive efforts to strengthen legal and moral principles of international communication, which is an essential precondition for the formation of a fairer multipolar world order," the minister said.

In this regard, Moscow "will continue to build up comprehensive cooperation with the countries of the Global South and East," which, like Russia, "are firmly committed to the principles of the UN Charter, advocate respect for the cultural and civilizational diversity of the world's peoples and their right to determine their own destiny."

"We are all united in the inadmissibility of the aggressive imposition of neoliberal pseudo-values that undermine the spiritual foundations of our communities and may harm our citizens' moral health. I am confident that the forum will do a lot to strengthen friendship and trust between peoples and make it possible to work out useful practical recommendations," Lavrov concluded.
