Lavrov said he hoped Moscow's new nuclear doctrine, in which President Vladimir Putin lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike, would be attentively read.
North Korea Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui's visit to Moscow and her meeting with Russia's counterpart came on the heels of the Pentagon's statement that North Korea has deployed about 10,000 troops to Russia to fight against Ukraine within “the next several weeks.”
Lavrov and Jaishankar discussed key matters on the bilateral cooperation agenda, as well as urgent international matters, including preparations for the upcoming BRICS Summit in Kazan, the Ukraine settlement, as well as the situation in the Asia-Pacific Region.
The latest conversations with the two foreign ministers took place on the sidelines of the India-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) foreign ministers' meeting. Both the ministers are in the Saudi capital to attend ministerial meetings of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
"Spoke to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Conveyed our deepest condolences on the loss of lives in the horrific terrorist attack in Moscow," Jaishankar wrote on the social media platform.
North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said during a visit to Moscow that ties with Russia were developing in line with the plans of the two countries leaders, a deepening of a relationship that the United States and its allies view with concern.
Both Jaishankar and Lavrov are expected to discuss a wide range of issues including bilateral, trade, currency, the Middle East conflict, the Ukraine crisis and other global issues.
Although the US did not respond to the claims, Lavrov suggested that Kremlin would take "strong retaliatory measures".
Notably, Russian Minister Lavrov and US's Blinken are scheduled to attend a meeting at the UN Headquarters on April 24-25.
Russia has once again backed India's aspirations for permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), noting that the largest democracy has added "great value" to the Council.
