Tensions mounting in the world due to US unilateral approaches

 Sergei Lavrov

MOSCOW, March 27. /TASS/. Unilateral approaches of the US and its allies increase tensions in the world and defy international law, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a session of the Alexander Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Efforts taken by public diplomacy "play a major role in maintaining trust and mutual understanding between the peoples, between the civic societies," the top diplomat stressed.

"This is especially important in conditions when international tensions not only persist, but moreover are growing, first of all in connection with an insistent bid of our American colleagues and their closest allies to impose on all and everywhere their unilateral approaches, grossly violating international law," Lavrov stressed.
