Vladimir Putin praised the offensive stance of Russian diplomacy, noting with irony that he even has to remind Sergey Lavrov that he is the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, not the Defense Ministry.
President said this at a meeting with representatives of the United Russia party on Sunday.
According to him, some time ago, the Russian diplomacy was willing to make any compromises, regardless of their own interests, just to look good in the eyes of their partners, but now the situation has changed dramatically: "Today, the huge enormous professional potential of our diplomatic service fulfils itself and it is working very pragmatically in the national interests of the country. It is not about only talking in well-arranged beautiful interiors anymore. There is a real struggle for the national interests of those states that participate in these discussions," the Russian leader stressed.
