The two diplomats have a good relationship, despite sometimes frosty relations between their governments on several issues, including Ukraine.
Earlier this month, Lavrov said a new US sanctions law against Russia could undermine relations between Moscow and Washington for a long time.
The United States voted this week against a bid by Palestinians to win backing for a UN resolution on a final Israeli-Palestinian settlement, a move Russia supported.
Kerry and Lavrov last met face-to-face on December 14 on in Italy, where they spoke for more than three hours on a number of issues, discussing the situation in Ukraine and Syria.
