MINSK, 29 January (BelTA) - Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not rule out that, if necessary, the new round of negotiations in Abu Dhabi could last more than one day, TASS reports.
“Maybe two days if necessary, yes,” Dmitry Peskov said when asked whether the talks could last longer than one day. He did not specify a start time for the next meeting.
Dmitry Peskov also emphasized that the modalities of the negotiations in Abu Dhabi will be coordinated right up until the day the talks resume. “The modalities will be coordinated directly until the day of the meeting, until Sunday [1 February]. Essentially, this changes nothing, but certainly, everyone will work to ensure the possibility that the dialogue continues,” the Russian leader's spokesman said.
