Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during a meeting with Director-General of the World Health Organisation Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Rome, October 30, 2021

Mr Director-General,

We believe that we should support the World Health Organisation and its central role in any configuration of healthcare-related international efforts.   

We will discuss this matter during the G20 Summit, where we will clearly point out that the WHO can be relied upon and that it is necessary to support its work in every possible way.
