South-East Asian countries clearly see the true reasons behind the current situation in Europe and hold great respect for Russia.
Medianews.az reports that this was stated by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
According to her, the reception of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the ASEAN summit held in Manila is a clear example of this. Zakharova emphasized that at the gala dinner of the event, the foreign ministers stood up as Lavrov entered the hall to show him special respect.
According to the diplomat, unlike Western countries, the states of the Asia-Pacific region objectively assess international processes, and attempts to isolate Russia have yielded no results in this region. // BakuTime.az
