- hace 8 años
Astana, Jul 12 (EFE).- Russia's top diplomat, Sergey Lavrov, arrived in the Kazakh capital late Tuesday to attend a meeting of foreign ministers of the five Caspian littoral states scheduled for the following day.
Lavrov met briefly upon his arrival with Kazakh counterpart Erlan Idrissov to discuss Wednesday's meeting with the foreign ministers of Iran, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, the three other states on the Caspian Sea.
The foreign ministers are in Astana to lay the groundwork for a summit of the Caspian Sea littoral states to be held in Kazakhstan at an unspecified date.
The last meeting of the heads of the Caspian Sea littoral states took place in the Russian city of Astrakhan in 2014.
At that summit, the five Caspian nations agreed to prohibit foreign military presence in the sea, but fell short of coming up with a delimitation plan to exploit its vast resources.
