I believe, I am pretty certain that virtually everyone speaking from the United Nations platform is going to talk about the fight, about the need to fight terrorism, and I cannot avoid this issue, either. This is quite understandable because it is a serious common threat to all of us it is a common challenge to all of us.

I often heard the same question: What place does Russia reserve for itself in the world how does it see itself what is its place? We are a peace-loving state and we want to cooperate with all of our neighbors and with all of our partners.
