MOSCOW (Sputnik) On Monday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov said Lavrov would arrive in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur on August 5 to participate in the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting.

"An emphasis will be put on developing the economic component of the dialogue partnership," the statement published on the ministry’s website said.
