ussia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov will meet a Chinese delegation including diplomat Wang Yi on the sidelines of a regional summit in Jakarta this week, TASS news agency reported on Wednesday, citing Russia's foreign ministry.
"Tomorrow, a meeting between Russia and ASEAN is expected, as well as just a whole series of bilateral meetings. There will be a meeting with Chinese colleagues, and Wang Yi is expected to arrive in Jakarta," TASS agency said citing Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova as telling Sputnik radio.
Earlier in the week, Lavrov said that the war in Ukraine will not end until the West stops trying to defeat Moscow.
His comments came ahead of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky's symbolic talks with NATO leaders at their summit in Lithuania on Wednesday.
In an interview with the newspaper Kompas ahead of meetings with his Southeast Asian counterparts in Jakarta this week, Lavrov lambasted the United States and its allies for supporting Ukraine.
"It will continue until the West abandons its plans to maintain dominance and its obsession with inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia through the hands of its puppet, Kyiv," he said of the Ukraine conflict.
"There has been no sign of a change in their position and we are seeing how America and its accomplices are continuously pumping weapons into Ukraine and pushing (Zelensky) to continue fighting."
