US news agency Associated Press had reported in the past half hour that Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov – in Bali as Russia’s G20 representative – had been taken to hospital.
However the Russian foreign ministry swiftly denied that report – saying it was false.
The spokesman of the Russian embassy in Indonesia Alexander Tumaykin has also denied the report.
Lavrov arrived in Bali on Sunday as Russia’s envoy for the G20 summit. President Putin withdrew last week.
