Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has arrived on a working visit to Beijing, Russian media reported.
In Beijing, Lavrov will hold a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi. They plan to discuss such issues as co-operation and work in the UN, BRICS, SCO and the G20.
Russian media reported that the ministers “will discuss the situation in Ukraine and the Asia-Pacific region, issues of bilateral cooperation and interaction in the international arena,” quoting Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said the previous day that the Russian and Chinese sides were scheduled to have a thorough exchange of views on a number of “hot topics” and regional subjects during the meeting.
Mr. Lavrov’s visit will last from 8 to 9 April. The minister last visited Beijing in October 2023, when the third international forum “One Belt, One Road” was held there.
