"Moscow has simply begun to
defend its interests more
persistently," Russian president
said
Russia is not conducting aggressive
policies or claiming a superpower
status, President Vladimir Putin on
Thursday.
"I didn’t like the fact you speak about
an aggressive character of our
conduct," Putin said as he answered
questions from participants in the St
Petersburg International Economic
Forum. "You’re not right. We’re not
displaying any aggressive conduct."
"Moscow has simply begun to defend
its interests more persistently," he
said. "We kept silent for quite some
time, for decades actually and offered
elements of cooperation of all kinds
but pressure on us continued
unabated until they drove to a line,
which we can’t step over."
"There’s no engaging in rebuilding of
the whole world," Putin said. "We
must proceed from what we have at
hand, treat each other respectfully,
work together, and seek common
solutions to common problems."
"Russia doesn’t aspire to hegemony of any kind or to the status of a
superpower and we don’t impose our standards or models of conduct on anyone," he said.
"Moscow would like to have equitable relations with all members of the international community - the US, the
EU, the Asian countries - and we’ll
build relations with them on the basis of equality and mutual respect," Putin said.
"Moscow will defend the principles
and fundamentals of international law specified in the UN Charter in the international arena," he said.
"As regards the economy, we’ll be
working towards expansion of
freedom, towards making the
economy more efficient and diversified and we’ll work towards import substitution - an objective we’ll spend more than 2.5 trillion rubles for," Putin said.
"We’ll revive high-tech manufacturing spheres where we can and must be more competitive," he said. "Apart from ensuring our defense capability,
this is needed to make the economy
more sophisticated, to give it the
prospects for development, and the
improve our people’s lifestyles and
living standards.".
