In response to a question about whether President Putin's statement that there will be no sanctions against Georgia will serve as an example for the United States regarding the solution of the embargo against Cuba, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it was difficult for him to assess this.
"The United States is a special country, it has its own traditions of great power. I speak about this with regret, because I believe that if the United States began to implement a policy of equality and mutual respect with all its partners - be it Russia, China, the European Union, any other country - then the problems of the world would be solved much more effectively and reliably," - said the Russian Foreign Minister.
Mr. Lavrov stressed that Russia is engaged in dialogue with Washington and is trying to explain its approaches to developing events on the international arena.
According to him, the meeting between Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump in Osaka shows that "the US President, in general, aims to find some common accepted approaches."
