Lavrov will attend the Group of 20 (G20) foreign ministers' meeting in Bali this week, a spokesperson for the Russian embassy in Jakarta told Reuters on Tuesday.
The meeting, hosted by current G20 chair Indonesia takes place from July 7-8.
Denis Tetiushin, a spokesperson at the Russian embassy in Jakarta, confirmed to Reuters that Lavrov would join the July 7-8 meeting in Bali.
