“We have an agreement in principle to speed up the preparation of an intergovernmental agreement on the waiver of visa requirements for travel of citizens,” Lavrov was quoted as saying by TASS.
According to him, "it is in a high degree of readiness."
“I think we will organize its signing in the near future,” the minister added.
Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree according to which foreign tourists will be able to obtain a multiple-entry tourist visa to the country for up to six months.
