Moscow, September 13

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and members of a Russian delegation have been granted visas to attend the United Nations’ General Assembly (UNGA), a Russian news agency reported, citing the Foreign Ministry.

Russia has for weeks criticised the United States for not granting members of the Russian delegation visas to attend the 77th session of the Assembly, which opens in New York today.

“Today, visas were given to Lavrov and a number of those who will accompany him,” Interfax quoted the Foreign Ministry as saying.

Moscow has accused the US of trying to block Russia’s full participation in the General Assembly by delaying the granting of visas for Russians to attend the session. — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
