LAVROV IN KYRGYZSTAN: Russia's Foreign Minister ARRIVES For Cholpon-Ata Meeting | Times Now World

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan on Tuesday to participate in the foreign ministers' meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, joining counterparts from member and observer states including China, India, Pakistan, Iran and Central Asian nations for the annual gathering of the world's largest regional security and economic organisation by geographic area and population. The SCO foreign ministers' meeting, held at the resort town of Cholpon-Ata on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul, brings together representatives of a bloc covering approximately half of the world's population and a significant share of global economic output, representing one of the most significant gatherings of the non-Western diplomatic world. Lavrov's attendance comes as Russia continues to face Western sanctions and diplomatic pressure over the Ukraine conflict, with Moscow pointing to its continued engagement with major non-Western powers including China, India and Iran as evidence that the Western narrative of Russian international isolation has failed to materialise. The SCO ministers are expected to discuss regional security, economic cooperation, counterterrorism coordination and the broader geopolitical landscape, with Russia and China expected to use the platform to advance their shared vision of a multipolar international order as an alternative to Western-led global institutions.
