Russia Says Trilateral Summit with U.S. and China Remains Possible
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Moscow has not dismissed the idea of a three-way meeting of the Russian, U.S. and Chinese presidents.
Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Sept 6 that Russia is still open to a trilateral summit involving the leaders of Russia, the United States and China. He emphasized that the agenda must be defined before any preparations begin. Earlier in the month, Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov suggested the meeting could take place at the APEC summit in Shenzhen in November, potentially bringing together Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.
