Lavrov on his conversation with US Secretary of State Rubio: We had a good conversation, short for obvious reasons, because as an owner he has many functions that do not allow him to spend a lot of time on unnecessary contacts, but there was contact. We talked about some of our bilateral relations, and interaction in multilateral platforms, including the United Nations and the G20, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, the summit of which will be held soon, in November in Shenzhen. You know, I've said more than once that the Americans follow the rules of classical diplomacy. Whatever the problems in the relationship, there have always been problems between Russia and the United States and there always will be problems.
