MINSK (Sputnik) - The dialogue on strategic stability presupposes the existence of appropriate conditions that are needed to reach agreements that will correspond to the interests of all the parties, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday.
"Strategic stability presupposes the existence of conditions in order to reach some kind of agreements that will equally reflect the interest and correspond to the concerns of the participants in such negotiations," Lavrov told reporters in Minsk.
The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is still in effect, and Russia is committed to the parameters that exist, Lavrov added.
