Russia denounces US hostile strategy to APEC

  Moscow denounces the United States for continuing to use anti-Russian rhetoric at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). "The United States still cannot give up anti-Russian rhetoric in the APEC format. The most loyal allies obediently echo it," said Ambassador Extraordinary, senior Russian official at APEC Marat Berdyev. Berdyev. "However, this course is gradually running out. An obedient minority echoes Washington's microphone. On the sidelines, however, many delegations admit that they look forward to the end of this American obsession." In 2022, Berdyev noted, the Thai presidency made every possible effort to prevent the forum from making illegitimate decisions that circumvented the fundamental principle of consensus. "Today, however, we are seeing a completely opposite approach, which bears little resemblance to the usual collegial principle of the functioning of APEC," he added. Moscow hopes that the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) will return to work constructively after the end of the US presidency, added Marat Berdyev.
