The Foreign Ministry hopes for the sanity of the countries responsible for issuing visas to delegates

MOSCOW, October 8 - RIA Novosti. Russia is conducting a dialogue with all countries responsible for issuing visas to Russian delegates at international organizations and hopes for their common sense in this matter, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Alimov told RIA Novosti.

“We clearly understand and say that the countries that host the headquarters (of international organizations - ed.) must - this is their obligation - provide such visas. The dialogue is being conducted with all of these countries, we hope that it will be productive, successful, and those who make decisions in these countries will take responsibility and be sensible,” Alimov told the agency.

At the same time, unfortunately, Russia is faced with the problem of not issuing visas to Russian delegates both in New York and in other UN capitals, Alimov pointed out.

“We are not hysterical over this issue, we react calmly, this is a subject of conversation,” the diplomat emphasized.
