“The plane with Lavrov takes off towards Asia,” she wrote in her Telegram channel.

According to her, Lavrov is planning a visit to Myanmar and participation in Russia-ASEAN events in Cambodia.

Zakharova added that the region is now hot, "in every sense."

The representative of the Foreign Ministry also stressed that the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry is bringing cooperation to Asia, not a provocation, like the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.

Earlier, Zakharova ironically commented on reports that the special flight of the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, was heading to Taipei airport.
