MOSCOW, March 10 (Xinhua) -- Moscow and Washington have not yet begun to work on addressing existing problems in bilateral relations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.
In an interview with local media, Lavrov said that while it may be too soon to draw conclusions from statements made by the new U.S. administration, they are still promising.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed Monday that Russia and the United States are not expected to hold talks in Saudi Arabia this week.
Delegations from both countries previously met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Feb. 18 and in Istanbul, Türkiye, on Feb. 27 to discuss bilateral ties and the Ukraine crisis, among other issues. ■
