“There are many irritants in Russian–American relations, inherited from the previous US administration. It will take a long time to clear the debris. With the arrival of the new administration, we have felt its willingness to resume dialogue. It is underway, but not as quickly as we would like,” Lavrov told Sputnik.
"We are waiting. Our proposals on diplomatic property and air traffic have been conveyed to the American side. Working contacts are currently underway regarding the possibility of continuing the dialogue," Lavrov said.
He recalled that two rounds of consultations were held in the spring, during which a number of agreements were reached to improve the operating conditions of diplomatic missions.
