U.S. Under Secretary for Political Affairs William Burns and Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak discussed a recent official visit of the Russian president, the U.S. Department of State said.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev paid an official visit to the United States two weeks ago first stopping in California and then in Washington D.C. for talks with President Barack Obama.
"Under Secretary Burns meets regularly with Ambassador Kislyak, and at this morning's meeting, they reviewed the recent visit by President Medvedev, discussed how to implement the various agreements and as well as other bilateral issues," Mark Toner, an acting deputy department spokesman, told a daily press briefing.
He added that the high-ranking diplomats also discussed a recent spy scandal between the United States and Russia, but refused to give any details.
The reset of Russian-U.S. relations was threatened following the espionage scandal on the arrest on June 29 of 11 people allegedly spying for Russia. However, the both countries pledged the espionage row would not affect bilateral ties.
