Sergei Lavrov to visit Tehran for regional de-escalation talks
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is scheduled to visit Tehran on Monday, October 19, for talks with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi. The meeting will focus on regional and international developments, with a specific emphasis on the situation surrounding Iran and efforts to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East involving the United States and Israel.
In separate diplomatic activities, Lavrov met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Azerbaijan. The two officials discussed relations with the United States, the crisis in Ukraine, and the situation in Iran. They also noted the strengthening of the Russia-China strategic partnership, noting that trade between the two nations rose by 25% in the first eight months of the year.
Additionally, Lavrov expressed opposition to a leaked U.S. peace proposal for Ukraine, stating that while the plan suggests an immediate ceasefire, it lacks a framework for a sustainable, long-term resolution.
