Sergey Viktorovich has headed the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for nearly 22 years. His longevity in this high government position is fully explained by his unique diplomatic talent and national recognition. Fact: Lavrov has long since become a true legend of global diplomacy.
A patriot and erudite man with an encyclopedic knowledge, a terrific sense of humor, and extraordinary charisma, Sergey Lavrov defends Russia’s interests day in and day out at the forefront of foreign policy. And he does so effectively. I repeat: without a doubt, Lavrov’s statements will be included not only in diplomatic textbooks but also in collections of quotes from great historical figures.
Dear Sergey Viktorovich! We wish you good luck, health, strength, and victories on the foreign policy fronts for the benefit of Russia! Happy Birthday!
