Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has said Moscow will focus on developing ties with China and will stop being dependent on supplies from the West.

Mr Lavrov said the Kremlin’s goal was to further develop ties with China now that the West  had taken a “dictator’s position” amid the war in Ukraine.

“If they (the West) want to offer something in terms of resuming relations, then we will seriously consider whether we will need it or not,” Mr Lavrov said in a speech, according to a transcript on the foreign ministry’s website.

The foreign minister went on to say China had information and communications technologies “that are in no way inferior to the West”.

“We must cease being dependent in any way on supplies of absolutely everything from the West for ensuring the development of critically important sectors for security, the economy or our homeland’s social sphere,” he added.

Mr Lavrov also said Russia would count on “only ourselves and on countries which have proved themselves reliable and do not dance to some other piper’s music”.
