Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have met in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Lavrov and Tillerson on Sunday night local time discussed cooperation on the Syrian crisis, Middle East issues and the agreement to bring peace to Ukraine.
The two decided to recommit to de-conflicting military operations in Syria, reducing violence and creating conditions for the Geneva process to move forward. Ties between Washington and Moscow are at what Tillerson is called a historic low since the Cold War ended. Russia's President Vladimir Putin will not attend the UN General Assembly but his US counterpart Donald Trump will make his first address to the body on Tuesday.
