The parties are expected to explore ways to ease current tensions, work toward practical solutions, and preserve bilateral ties as well as cooperation on broader regional and global issues. The dialogue aligns with Moscow’s preference for constructive engagement with a wide range of partners even amid complex geopolitical dynamics.
