South Ossetian President Alan Gagloev declared the unchanged positions of the countries that have recognized the Republic's independence and emphasized the strategic course toward deepening integration with Russia.
The corresponding instructions were given to Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia.
During the government meeting on Wednesday, the President noted that the partners who had recognized South Ossetia's state sovereignty confirmed the firmness of their decisions.
"No matter what anyone says, no matter how they try to influence these decisions, we, for our part, must carry out the appropriate work to strengthen the existing ties," Gagloev has stated.
The President named relations with the Russian Federation as the key focus of the foreign policy department's work. Particular attention will be paid to the implementation of the provisions of the Treaty of Alliance and Integration of March 18, 2015, and the expansion of integration processes, recently discussed during a working visit.
The task of ensuring the unified foreign policy through coordination among all the executive bodies, developing diplomatic relations with the countries that have recognized the Republic, and establishing contacts with other states, has also been set.
The President expressed gratitude to the leadership and staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their work.
