The Russian foreign minister and the US state secretary are expected to discuss the issues of bilateral cooperation, as well as the topics of international agenda, including the situation in Syria.
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump enacted a new batch of sanctions on North Korea, Iran, and Russia. The sanctions over Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election target the country's defense and economic sectors and restrict dealings with Russian banks and energy companies.
The law also limits the US president's ability to ease any sanctions on Russia by requiring Congress's approval to lift any restrictions.
