MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 24th May, 2019) The second foreign minister of Brunei, Erywan Yusof, invited Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday to pay a visit to the Asian country.

The two diplomats held a meeting in Moscow earlier on Friday and discussed implementation of agreements reached at the negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah on the sidelines of the Russia-ASEAN summit in May 2016 and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum in November 2016.

"I would like to note that I am very pleased with the results of our meeting and I will welcome you in Brunei and certainly respond with the same warm hospitality that was provided to us during this visit," Yusof said.

The number of Russian tourists coming to Brunei increased fivefold since the introduction of a visa-free regime between the two countries in February 2018, the diplomat added.
