Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has described the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) as an organization with a highly diplomatic culture, in which issues among member states are resolved jointly rather than through confrontation, according to TASS.
Lavrov stressed that the CIS takes into account the specific national interests of its individual member countries, characterizing the organization's approach as one of balancing those sometimes differing interests through dialogue and cooperation.
The CIS was established following the dissolution of the Soviet Union to maintain cooperation among former Soviet republics on economic, political and security matters. Russia has traditionally positioned itself as a central actor within the organization's framework.
Lavrov's remarks come amid ongoing diplomatic engagement between Russia and other CIS member states on a range of regional issues. No further specifics on particular disputes or upcoming CIS initiatives were detailed in the reported comments.
