Britain and Russia said on Sunday they hope to improve their relations through dialogue following the first meeting between new British Prime Minister Theresa May and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Relations between London and Moscow have been strained by differences over Ukraine and Syria in addition to Britain’s complaint that flights by long-range Russian bombers near British air space have increased.
May said she hoped for an open dialogue with Russia even though the two countries have serious differences, speaking at the start of a meeting with Putin on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Hangzhou city in China.
