(30 Jan 2019) Russia welcomes the Venezuelan government's willingness to accept mediation to resolve the country's political crisis, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
Speaking during a joint briefing with his Iraqi counterpart Mohammed Ali al-Hakim in Moscow, Lavrov said mediators' help could be useful, but has to be impartial and fair.
When asked about what Russia thought about the US starting production of new nuclear weapons, Lavrov said it would be good to see what European countries' reactions were to this.
He also said Russia was open for talks on strategic stability with the US.
"This offer remains on the table, however the talks haven't started yet," he added.
Meanwhile al-Hakim spoke about Iraq's determination to be "a foundation for rapprochement" for countries in the region, rather than the source of their disagreements.
