ISTANBUL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday said that his country has no desire to \u201ctake revenge\u201d on the West, and that Moscow will welcome countries willing to work with Russia again.<\/p>\n

Speaking to students at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, Lavrov said Russia has no desire to \u201ctake revenge\u201d or \u201ctake out its anger\u201d on anyone, expressing Moscow\u2019s position that anger, as well as the desire for revenge, are \u201cbad advisers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen our Western former partners come to their senses \u2026 and want to come to the Russian Federation and work here again, we will not push them away, but we will see under what conditions this can be done,\u201d Lavrov said.<\/p>\n

He further said that, from now on, it is necessary to resolve issues surrounding the conditions under which the West can work with Moscow in a manner that does not create risks for key areas of the Russian economy.<\/p>\n

Lavrov stated that Russia is ready for dialogue and to work \u201chonestly\u201d with everyone, which he said was clearly demonstrated during negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump in Alaska last month.<\/p>\n

The summit between Putin and Trump in the city of Anchorage on Aug. 15 was the first direct meeting between a Russian and American leader since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war more than three-and-a-half years ago.<\/p>\n

On the Alaska summit, Lavrov said that the meeting last month showed the current US administration\u2019s understanding of the need to resolve all issues based on respect for each other\u2019s national interests, including the Ukraine war, regarding which he also noted Washington\u2019s attention to the need to \u201celiminate the root causes\u201d of the conflict.<\/p>\n

Lavrov also said that Russia is interested in equal cooperation with all countries, including the US, with which he said Moscow has prospects for cooperation, particularly in areas such as the Arctic, liquefied natural gas, and space.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (the US) show similar interest,\u201d he said, adding that Russia and the US can also establish cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
