MOSCOW: Moscow is receiving signals from Washington about mutually respectful dialogue, the communication has opened a window of opportunity for a transition to non-confrontational coexistence, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said.
"We are receiving signals of readiness for mutually respectful dialogue from Washington after the change of administration," the senior diplomat said at the Russian International Affairs Council conference "Russia and India: Towards a New Bilateral Agenda," recalling that there have been telephone conversations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump, as well as contacts between representatives at various levels.
"This communication has opened a certain window of opportunity to move from frontal confrontation to non-confrontational coexistence," Ryabkov emphasized.
The deputy foreign minister called the contacts "only the beginning of a long and difficult process to improve relations." Therefore, according to him, "it is premature to make far-reaching predictions."
