In its dealings with the United States, Russia has drawn attention to the principle of peaceful co-existence, despite existing tensions, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Friday.

“In dealings with US representatives, we draw attention to the well-forgotten principle, which worked during the Cold War – that of peaceful co-existence, in spite of all differences and fundamental disagreements,” he said in a video address to the participants at the international conference on the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

According to Ryabkov, Moscow is indicating to Washington that “it is improper to impose the notorious rule-based world order,” along with the norms rejecting traditional morality. “But, unfortunately, time after time we come up against a brick wall,” he stressed.
