As of September 14, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, Deputy Minister Sergey Welheinin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zaharova and some of the US visas have been approved.

On September 13, the 77th UN General Assembly opened. This is the first offline meeting since the outbreak of the epidemic. According to the plan, Lavrov will lead the Russian delegation from September 20th to 26th.

As the United Nations headquarters is located in New York, participants need a US visa. However, the United States has delayed for months and has not issued visas to members of the delegation.
