Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday that Moscow sees “visible progress” in its relations with the United States, noting that a presidential meeting should deliver concrete results as dialogue between the two nations resumes.
Speaking at the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security in the Belarusian capital, Lavrov said "progress in these relations is visible, but so far mainly in the fact that dialogue has resumed."
Regarding the prospects of a Russia-U.S. presidential meeting, he emphasized that Moscow wants guarantees it will yield concrete results.
"We also need guarantees that the meeting of presidents will bring specific results. We are prepared for this result," he said.
A summit between President Vladimir Putin and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump, planned to be held in Budapest this month, was cancelled. They last met in August in Alaska.
