United Nations: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will host a ministerial meeting of the Middle East Quartet later this month aimed at working on a diplomatic solution for the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

He said invited to this meeting is Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, US Secretary of State John Kerry, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini.
