Russia announces a new round of bilateral talks with the U.S. could take place by the end of summer

Russia and the United States have announced plans for a new round of bilateral talks, potentially taking place before the end of the summer. The announcement follows a statement made by Sergei Ryabkov, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister, who indicated that discussions could commence by the end of the summer [1].

The talks are expected to address various issues between the two countries, with Ryabkov awaiting details from a recent meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The discussions are crucial for international relations and the world is closely watching for any progress [1].

Meanwhile, on the sidelines of the BRICS Finance Ministers meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman engaged in bilateral talks with counterparts from Russia, China, Indonesia, and Brazil. The discussions spanned cooperation in financial sectors, trade, and support following the Pahalgam terror attack. Sitharaman emphasized strengthening ties and amplifying the voice of developing economies [2].

The planned talks between Russia and the U.S. come amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions and a backdrop of increased military activity, including a recent record-breaking drone and missile attack by Russia on Ukrainian cities [3]. The developments underscore the importance of these diplomatic efforts in maintaining stability and addressing bilateral issues.
