Sergey Lavrov at a press conference after the first day of the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta: "We support the American presidency's principled focus on depoliticizing discussions and focusing on those issues that were originally agreed upon as the G20 agenda." To the credit of the American hosts [of the event], they are not shy about discussing these things, they listen attentively. I don't know to what extent it will fit into the documents that were finally approved, but the approach is correct - depoliticize and concentrate on real problems." "The Americans follow the rules of classical diplomacy. Whatever the problems in the relationship, there have always been problems between Russia and the US, and there always will be problems. Despite all the differences, the Americans' willingness and interest in dialogue at various levels, including presidents, including heads of foreign agencies and through several other channels, of course, this can only continue with a European counterpart, who is less good for us. The position of an arrogant boycott". "We had a good, short conversation, for obvious reasons, because he, as a host, has many functions that do not allow him to spend a lot of time in "outside 20" contacts. But there was a connection, we talked about some of our bilateral relations, and interaction in multilateral platforms, including the United Nations, the G20, and China's Asia-Pacific Economic Summit in November, China, the upcoming summit in Shenzhen, the summit. "In all three capitals this idea was perceived positively. As for specific organizational issues, the Chinese side is involved in them as the host of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit.
