The Russian Foreign Ministry said a new meeting will be held with the Turkish side in Antalya, Wednesday, 30th June, with the aim of discussing a number of files, most notably Syria and Libya.

According to the statement, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu will meet with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, as part of the two delegations from the two countries. The statement said that the talks will discuss the files of Syria, Libya, the South Caucasus, MENA, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Central Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Black Sea.

The meeting will headline several important topics, as it comes a few days after the meeting in Rome, and a few days before the Astana conference early next month.
