Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held about 50 meetings in three incomplete days at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, including 42 rounds of full-fledged negotiations, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday.
"During these three incomplete days that we spent there, Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, had about 50 meetings. Of these, 42 rounds of full-fledged negotiations... forty-two ministers, prime ministers, heads of state came to the Russian delegation's room for such traditional negotiations. And there were also meetings, so-called 'on the go,'" Zakharova told the Vesti news agency.
In addition, Lavrov spoke at the Security Council and the General Assembly, and also held a press conference lasting more than an hour for Russian and foreign correspondents accredited to the UN, answering all questions without exception, Zakharova said.
"That is roughly how three days and then a night on the plane went," the diplomat said.
The 81st session of the UN General Assembly officially opened in New York on September 8. A high-level week traditionally takes place as part of the General Assembly session. The general debate runs from September 22 to 26, as well as on September 28.
