"The aviation authorities of Russia and Pakistan discuss such possibility, the commercial component here is also very important - these issues are under consideration," Lavrov said.
Russia and Pakistan stopped regular flights with other countries due to restrictions imposed in connection with the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020. In 2021, the Pakistani authorities said that the resumption of direct flights between Russia and Pakistan could help develop relations.
Lavrov said earlier on Monday, Russia and Pakistan both strive to expand economic cooperation in energy and other areas. "Moscow and Islamabad certainly have a mutual desire to boost bilateral cooperation, primarily in the energy sector, in other sectors of the economy," Lavrov said.
The Russian Foreign Minister emphasized that Pakistan is an important Russian foreign policy partner. "With Pakistan we have close viewpoints on the most important international and regional issues, and we work closely in the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and other multilateral institutions," the minister said
In turn, Pakistani Foreign Minister said that Islamabad expects that third countries will not interfere with the development of cooperation with Moscow on the supply of oil and gas.
