In a phone call with the Russian Foreign Minister,... Tillerson discussed last week's meeting in Vancouver,... which dealt with North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
Russia, which was not invited to that meeting, is one of the five veto-wielding permanent members of the UN Security Council.
