Russia's UN ambassador said on Tuesday that the United States did not grant a visa for Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alimov to attend a UN Security Council meeting, calling it a breach of US obligations under the UN Headquarters Agreement.
Vassily Nebenzia made the comment at a meeting chaired by China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi. The State Department did not immediately respond.
Nebenzia said the visa denial was disrespectful to the Chinese presidency and the UN Charter.
