MOSCOW, April 4. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks last week in Moscow with Celso Amorim, who serves as a Brazilian presidential foreign policy adviser, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.

"In fact, this meeting took place," Peskov told journalists. "I should say, the meeting reaffirmed the previously extended invitation for [Brazilian President] Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to pay an official visit to Russia," Peskov said.

Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paolo reported earlier that Amorim mainly focused on the conflict in Ukraine, while the Russian side suggested discussing bilateral cooperation as well.
