Claim 1: “Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, opening talks with Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence confirms that Sergey Lavrov is the Russian Foreign Minister and Sihasak Phuangketkeow is a Thai Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister, there is no evidence in the provided search results confirming that they specifically held talks together. One result mentions Lavrov's general diplomatic traffic and another mentions Sihasak meeting with US Secretary Marco Rubio, but not a meeting between Lavrov and Sihasak.

Claim 2: “At the beginning of next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our countries.”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction regarding the date of the 130th anniversary. One source (Russian Ambassador Evgeny Tomikhin) states they are preparing to commemorate it 'next year', while two other sources (ASEANNOW and another web result) explicitly state the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations will occur in 2027.
