U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, July 10.

According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Reuters with reference to the US State Department and the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"I can confirm that such a meeting is being worked out," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was quoted as saying.

This will be the second personal meeting between Rubio and Lavrov.
