“First of all, we have discussed our cooperation on the international stage.

The US and Russia will continue working together on various issues, including the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, Lavrov noted, adding they aim to remove all barriers hindering efficient cooperation. | |
Meetings between Tillerson’s and Lavrov’s deputies will continue in order to tackle “those irritants that have been artificially planted into our relations,” the Russian foreign minister said. | |
