Lavrov came with "new ideas" about the war during the foreign minister meeting in Malaysia, according to Rubio.
I see it as a new and different perspective, he says.
It's a new idea or a new concept that I will take to the president to discuss.
According to Rubio, "the new" is not something that automatically leads to peace - but which "can potentially open the door to a route".
Shortly after Thursday's meeting, Rubio expressed frustration over the lack of solution in sight.
I repeated what the president (Donald Trump) said, both disappointment and frustration over the lack of progress, he said then to reporters.
