"Russia is ready to continue to fully boost ties with the Arab League and all its members, particularly in strengthening regional and global security.

The head of state pointed out that the formation of a multipolar system of international relations, based on the principles of equality, justice and respect for each other’s legitimate interests, was gaining momentum amid the serious political and economic changes that the world was going through.
