The public statement also stated that during the regular foreign ministers’ meeting, Russia&nbsp;intends to firmly and openly talk about the reasons and instigators of the current serious problems in world politics and the global economy. It&nbsp;will also focus on the attempts by the West to take revenge for the inevitable disappearance of the levers of dominance from its hands. The meeting&nbsp;will also concentrate on its striving to continue receiving unilateral rent, in part, through unequal trade and violent interference in the affairs of sovereign states.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov reaches Indian capital for G20 foreign ministers' meet

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken will be meeting his counterparts from India, Japan and Australia, next week amid rising tensions with China, top State Department official Donald Lu said.&nbsp;

He added that Blinken will be holding an hour-long meet on March 03 in New Delhi, India, on the sidelines of the G20 meet, where they will also focus on disaster relief and vaccine aid measures.&nbsp;

"The Quad is not a military alliance; the Quad is not in fact an organisation that is against any single country or group of countries. It stands for trying to promote activities and values that support the Indo-Pacific — a free and open Indo-Pacific," Lu said.

This comes weeks after Blinken cancelled his trip to China after an alleged Chinese spy balloon flew over the United States. He later held a 'tense meet' with Beijing's foreign official Wang Yi at the Munich Security Conference where he raised the 'unacceptable' violation of Washington's sovereignty and also warned that Beijing's support to Moscow will call for new sanctions.&nbsp;

As per reports, Blinken has refused to see Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who will also be attending the meeting, saying that Russia is not serious about 'peace'.

The concept of Quad was initiated by the late Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe as he sought unity among the four democracies amid their tensions with China.&nbsp;

Blinken will reach New Delhi after his stops in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan's Astana, where he will be meeting his counterparts from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, the other Central Asian former Soviet republics.
