The date of this negotiation will be announced as soon as it is confirmed. He pointed out that the Europeans have proven by their actions that they cannot be trusted as guarantors for any future agreements. Lavrov also stressed that a tripartite meeting between the leaders of the US, Russia and China in Shenzhen would be "extremely important" in the current world scenario.
