Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that the next round of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi will concentrate on the principles of a comprehensive resolution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Lavrov made this statement during a joint press conference in Moscow with his Peruvian counterpart, Carlos Espa. He emphasized that the negotiations aim to agree on the principles that will be endorsed after discussions on a global settlement.
Lavrov welcomed the approach of US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who highlighted the importance of security guarantees for Ukraine and Europe after the war. Rubio expressed hope for some progress on this issue during the upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi. The Russian Foreign Minister also discussed the Ukrainian issue with his Peruvian counterpart and evaluated the latest developments in Ukraine and the situation on the front.
The upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi will involve representatives from Russia, Ukraine, and the US. This will be the fourth series of negotiations under US mediation, following previous rounds on January 23-24, February 4-5, and February 17-18. Lavrov noted that the presence of Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov in the Moscow delegation is natural, given his responsibilities for transatlantic relations and arms control.
During his conversation with Carlos Espa, Lavrov presented Moscow's assessment of the recent developments in Ukraine and the situation on the front. Russia and Peru have agreed to intensify the work of their intergovernmental commissions on scientific, technical, and economic cooperation, as well as on the prevention and management of natural disasters and emergency situations.
The two countries also agreed to establish new mechanisms of cooperation, particularly between their banking institutions. According to Lavrov, Russian companies are interested in working with Peruvian partners on investment projects of mutual interest. This cooperation aims to strengthen bilateral ties and promote economic growth.
The talks in Abu Dhabi are expected to address key issues, including security guarantees for Ukraine and Europe. The Ukrainian conflict has been a pressing concern for the international community, with efforts to find a peaceful resolution ongoing. The involvement of Russia, Ukraine, and the US in these talks underscores the importance of a collaborative approach to resolving the crisis.
The outcome of the Abu Dhabi talks remains uncertain, but all parties involved have expressed hope for progress.
