Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and South Ossetian Foreign Minister Akhsar Dzhioev signed the plans for consultations between the diplomatic departments for 2024-2025.

Lavrov is holding separate bilateral and trilateral negotiations in Sochi with presidents of South Ossetia and Abkhazia Alan Gagloev and Aslan Bzhania, as well as with the foreign ministers of the republics Akhsar Dzhioev and Inal Ardzinba.

The plans for consultations between the foreign ministries of South Ossetia and Russia will help to strengthen the interstate dialogue.

Russia will continue to provide support to South Ossetia in the field of security and defense, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, opening the negotiations in Sochi with President of the Republic Alan Gagloev.

South Ossetia is supporting Russia's special operation in Ukraine and has no doubt that all the tasks set will be completed. This was stated by President of the Republic Alan Gagloev at the negotiations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Russia remains a reliable partner, a guarantor of peace and security for Tskhinval in the region, South Ossetian President Alan Gagloev said on Tuesday.

“I would like to note that South Ossetia is ready for further constructive work with its strategic partner, is ready to discuss all the issues that relate to regional security and once again assure the leadership of the Russian Federation that South Ossetia, for its part, remains a reliable partner, a southern outpost for the fraternal, our great Motherland," Gagloev said.

South Ossetian President Alan Gagloev arrived in Sochi, where on October 3 the South Ossetian leader will meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Gagloev’s press Secretary Natalya Bosikova said.

“The agenda of the meeting includes a discussion of important interstate issues. Based on the results, a meeting in a more expanded format is also planned with the participation of the head of the Foreign Ministry of South Ossetia and Abkhaz colleagues,” she said.
