Lavrov says Russia welcomes East Timor's plans to open embassy in Moscow
En breve
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow welcomes plans by East Timor to open an embassy in the Russian capital and will support the move. He spoke at a press conference following talks with East Timorese Foreign Minister Bendito Freitas, who arrived in Moscow on 4 October for the first official visit of his country's top diplomat to Russia. No date for an opening was given.
Por qué importa
The statement is part of a first official visit by East Timor's foreign minister to Russia, which the documents present as a step in bilateral contacts that Moscow says it welcomes. No concrete timetable, agreement or follow-up commitment is reported beyond Russian support for the plan and a possible return visit, so the practical effect is not yet established.
