On September 25, during the high-level week of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Vershinin met with UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy on Myanmar Julie Bishop.

The dialogue included an exchange of views on the situation in Myanmar, focusing on the challenges faced by the country and the forthcoming elections. It was emphasised that the primary responsibility for determining the pathways to settlement rests with the Myanmar people themselves, while the international community should extend assistance solely upon their request.

Julie Bishop was urged to conduct her activities in a neutral and impartial manner, with particular emphasis on the necessity of establishing constructive engagement with the Government of Myanmar.
