On Thursday, July 10, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will hold talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a meeting of the foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries, which will be held in Kuala Lumpur.

Reuters reports this.

It is noted that the US and Russia have confirmed the preparation of this meeting.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said: “I can confirm: such a meeting is being worked on,” according to Russian media.

This will be the second face-to-face meeting between Rubio and Lavrov. The first official communication took place in February in Saudi Arabia as part of the Trump administration’s initiative to resume bilateral dialogue and create the preconditions for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.

As a reminder, on May 17, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had a telephone conversation.

As reported, United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulated Russians on Russia Day.

It should be noted that United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the United States is not currently planning to impose new sanctions against Russia, as it seeks to leave room for possible peace negotiations.
