External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday said he held “excellent talks” with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov during which they discussed bilateral strategic ties and exchanged views on the international situation.

Jaishankar is on a four-day visit to Russia to attend a meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).

“Excellent talks that reflect our special and privileged strategic partnership,” Jaishankar tweeted.

The Foreign Ministers of Russia, India and China (RIC) will hold a luncheon meeting on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Moscow, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, Jaishankar held separate bilateral meetings with his Kyrgyz and Tajik counterparts and discussed ways to boost India’s strategic partnership with the two Central Asian countries. — PTI
