Relations Between Russia and the United States 78 | FOREIGN POLICY ASSOCIATION (Continued) Russia desires a good partnership in relations with the United States. Both countries have large potential to enhance their ties through cooperation in all areas. But using this potential requires an appropriate environment and the nurturing of mutual respect based on regard for each other’s interests. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov delivered this keynote address at the Foreign Policy Association’s World Leadership Forum in New York City. I would like to draw attention to the fact that Russian foreign and domestic policies focus on economic issues. We want to undertake trade while making use of our competitive advantages. Now we are building our own capacity to solve our own problems and to modernize our economy, raise the living standards of our people, and strengthen our security on the basis of the principle of reasonable sufficiency. On these crucial issues, we want to stand on our own. As far as I understand, this description represents exactly how the Americans think of themselves and their country. This understanding of minimum necessary elements also adds to the quality of the international partnership between the United States and Russia. Our common experiences help us even now to better understand each other. For example, the United States stayed in calmly, unlike some circles in Europe, when the Russian Strategic Air Force resumed its longrange patrols in full compliance with practices that are based on international law and that our American colleagues know very well. Russia desires a good partnership in relations with the United States. Both countries have large potential to enhance their ties through cooperation in all areas. But using this potential requires an appropriate environment and the nurturing of mutual respect based on regard for each other’s interests. Future leaders of our countries are being molded today, and the way Russian-American relations develop over the next few decades will depend on correct perceptions of each other. Whatever differences we may have, and whatever choices Russia might have to make under the guidance of its own national interests, we will always be willing to restore a more positive atmosphere for our relations at any moment. But it would be much better if we wasted no time in starting to build together, along with other countries, for our common future.
