According to Ryabkov, at the talks with the participation of the foreign ministers of Russia and the United States, Sergey Lavrov and Mike Pompeo, the topic of the dialogue between Moscow and Washington was discussed in detail.

“I would say that the American colleagues demonstrate a verbal interest in expanding the plane of contact on Syria, but at the same time, our approaches still differ significantly in content,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier, Lavrov, following nearly three-hour bilateral talks with Pompeo, said that the dialogue was frank and useful.
