"On September 28, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will meet with the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Cuba, co-chairman of the bilateral intergovernmental commission on trade, economic and scientific and technical cooperation, Mr. Cabrisas, who is in Russia on a working visit," Zakharova said.

She said that within the framework of Cabrisas's visit to Russia, "a lot of work is being carried out in the interests of giving a significant impetus to the entire range of bilateral ties in this very difficult period." 

In early June, Lavrov and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla in a telephone conversation discussed countering the COVID-19 coronavirus infection pandemic and issues of intra-Colombian settlement.
