Russia's Lavrov says 'reset' with US cannot last forever

Russia and the United States must do more to strengthen relations because the "reset" in ties cannot continue forever, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview published on Wednesday.

US President Barack Obama called for the reset in ties before taking office in 2008 but relations have been strained by differences over issues such as missile defence, human rights and the conflict in Syria. (AP)
