“Lavrov, as well as members of his delegation and accompanying persons, including media representatives covering the ministerial visit, still do not have visas,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier, Lavrov recalled that the United States and UN Secretary General António Guterres are obliged to ensure the participation of all delegations in the General Assembly (GA) of the world organization.

Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary General Farhan Haq noted that António Guterres is in constant contact with the US and Russia on the visa issue.
