According to the Russian minister, during the talks, the parties "raised issues related to the whole range of problems that are on the agenda of our strategic dialogue."
“Including those that are within the competence of the five permanent members (UN Security Council. - RT ) and those that relate to arms control issues,” he said.
As Lavrov noted, during the conversation, he felt that there were “certain shifts towards a more constructive approach” from the United States.
Earlier, spokesman for the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that Russia had long been offering the United States contacts on arms control discussions and would be satisfied if that happened.
