Lavrov gave the press statement after his talks with Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong, where South Korea called for Moscow to play a "constructive" role in fostering lasting peace on the divided peninsula.
Also on Thursday, Seoul expressed serious concerns over the North’s missile launches that morning, especially as the new US administration is reconsidering Washington’s policies on Pyongyang.
