Negotiations on arms control between Moscow and Washington, set to begin in Cairo on Tuesday, have been pushed back, the Russian Foreign Ministry has told RT.
Replying to RT’s request for comment regarding the event, the ministry said on Monday: “A previously planned session (November 29 – December 6) of the Bilateral consultation commission on the Russian-American New START treaty in Cairo will not take place on the dates specified.”
“The event is being postponed to a later date,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, CNN has quoted the US State Department as saying Washington is ready to hold talks at the earliest possible date. US officials emphasized that “resuming nuclear inspections under the New START treaty is a priority.”
Russia’s Kommersant newspaper broke the news earlier on Monday. The article quoted an official from the US embassy in Moscow as saying: “The Russian side has informed the United States that it has unilaterally postponed the meeting, and stated that it will propose new dates.”
