Moscow, November 5 (Xinhua) – Russia and the United States are in constant contact on security issues, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Wednesday.
"Contacts are ongoing, we don't hide it. The agenda is extensive. Security issues are at the forefront of this agenda," he said, responding to a question about contacts between Moscow and Washington amid US President Donald Trump's announcements of plans to conduct nuclear tests.
Speaking about a possible meeting between the leaders of Russia and the United States, the senior diplomat noted that the conditions for its organization have not yet been met. "A summit meeting, any kind, requires in-depth preparation and careful consideration of all aspects. As of today, neither the first nor the second condition for organizing this meeting has been met," he emphasized.
S. Ryabkov added that the two countries' foreign ministries are actively working on the substantive aspects of this type of contact. "At this stage, our main priority is to ensure that the framework formulated by the presidents in Anchorage in mid-August is filled with concrete details," the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister concluded.
