Lavrov talked about the unscrupulous attempts of the West to maintain its position in the economy

The West is trying, with unscrupulous methods, to maintain its position in the world economy, which it is rapidly losing, said the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov. "In the economy, the West loses openly, and loses within the framework of the system that it itself created and for many decades issued to all the other countries of our planet with the slogan of globalization, free competition, non-infringement of property, free play of market forces, and so on," he said in a speech at the international forum "Dialogue on counterfeits" on Tuesday. "We can clearly see how the West is trying, using unscrupulous methods, to maintain its position in the world economy, which is rapidly declining, and this is an objective historical process, it cannot be stopped, but it can, of course, cause damage, including damage with consequences that are far from economic, but also political and military," Lavrov said.
