Russian Foreign Minister [[Sergey Lavrov]] made it quite clear that the core of the Russia-China relationship revolves around establishing an economic and financial axis to counterpunch the [[Bretton Woods arrangement]]. That implies doing everything to protect Moscow and [[Beijing]] from “threats of sanctions by other states”; progressive de-dollarization; and advances in crypto-currency.

The United States and Russia share common interests on a broad range of issues, including counterterrorism and the drastic reduction of our strategic arsenals. Russia shares our basic goal of stemming the [[proliferation]] of [[weapons of mass destruction]] and the means to deliver them. We are working with Russia to compel Iran to bring its nuclear programs into compliance with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) rules and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1737. On North Korea, Russia is a participant in the Six-Party Talks aimed at the complete, verifiable, and irreversible dismantling of North Korea's nuclear program. Russia also takes part in the Middle East Peace Process "Quartet" (along with the UN and the EU). Russia now interacts with NATO members as an equal through the NATO-Russia Council but without veto power over NATO decisions. During the past several years, Russia has intensified its efforts to combat trafficking in persons.
