Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's visit to the US capital may indicate the improvement of the relations between the two countries, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Monday.

Axar.az reports citing to Sputnik asked whether Lavrov's trip to Washington, DC may be a sign of US-Russia relations improving, Tillerson stated, "We shall see."
Earlier in the day, both the Russian Foreign Ministry and the US State Department announced Lavrov's visit to Washington on May 9-11 to meet Tillerson. The two top diplomats are set to discuss Syria and Ukraine crises during the talks.

Lavrov's visit to the US comes after the April visit by Tillerson to Russia during which he met both the Russian foreign minister and President Vladimir Putin. Trump praised the meeting and said that the talks were successful. However, later in April Tillerson said that Moscow and Washington had not solved any issues during his visit to Russia.
