US idea of holding ‘summit for Democracy’ reminiscent of Cold War – Lavrov
The US, the UK, France, China and Russia - known as P5 - are the five permanent and veto-wielding members of the 15-nation powerful UN organ. First three are democracies while rest two have communism as their system of governance.
United Nations, Sep 25 (UNI/Sputnik) The idea of the United States to hold the so-called Summit for Democracy invokes the spirit of the Cold War and de facto declares a “crusade” against countries with dissenting views,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Saturday.
US President Joe Biden is expected to host the first of two Summits for Democracy in early December.
“A fresh example is the idea of convening a ‘summit of democracies’ proposed by the US administration … In essence, this initiative — quiet in the spirit of the Cold War — declares a new ideological crusade against all dissenters,” Lavrov said in a speech at the UN General Assembly in New York.
