Russia hopes to hear U.S. reaction on cyber security proposal at Summit

Russia hopes that U.S. President Joe Biden will reveal Washington’s reaction to Moscow’s proposal on cybersecurity during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.

“Last September, President Putin issued a statement on how we will see U.S.-Russian cooperation in developing a comprehensive programme of measures to restore cooperation in this area.

“There are purely specific things. After Joe Biden’s inauguration took place, we reaffirmed this proposal.

“It is under consideration by the U.S. administration. I hope that in Geneva, of course, we will find out what the reaction of Joe Biden and his team is,’’ Lavrov said at the Primakov Readings forum.

The Russian top diplomat added that it was not Moscow’s fault that the U.S.-Russia cybersecurity dialogue was frozen.
