Russia said Monday that the permanent members of the UN Security Council have agreed to hold a video conference on the coronavirus pandemic.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that "all the leaders of the other countries of the 'five' have supported this initiative."
The five permanent UN Security Council members (the "P5"), a powerful group that can stop any resolution, are Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States.
Lavrov said "the 'five' is considering now how to make its own contribution to creating ways to fight the coronavirus."
"With this aim, a video conference has been agreed in principle. Now it's being decided on what precise day it could happen," the diplomat said in an online address. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists a date had not been set yet.
