Istanbul on February 27, 2025 began important negotiations between Russia and the United States, which discuss the key issues related to the work of the embassies of both countries. The negotiations took place at the US General Consul in Istanbul, which became a significant moment for bilateral relations.
At the meeting, representatives of the United States and Russia should discuss a number of important problems that have arisen during the work of the embassies, including visas, security, diplomatic units and other aspects that usually remain on the periphery of major diplomatic talks. This is an important step in the restoration or at least preserving the dialogue between the two countries, given that relations between the United States and Russia have recently become tense against the background of numerous international crises.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, announcing these negotiations, expressed his hope that the results of the meeting would give a clear idea of the possibility of a quick and effective solution to existing problems. He emphasized the importance of dialogue and the willingness of both sides to be discussed.
