Putin, Trump discussed idea of trilateral summit with Xi
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation is scheduled to hold a summit in the Chinese city of Shenzhen between Nov 18 and 19.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump discussed the prospect of a trilateral summit involving China's Xi Jinping during a recent phone call, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. The Kremlin confirmed on Wednesday that such a meeting was on the table for an upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China, scheduled for November 18-19.
Peskov noted that the idea of a trilateral meeting had been mentioned before and reiterated that it would indeed take place. The APEC forum, established in the 1980s, includes Russia, China, and the US, and is a key platform for economic cooperation in the Asia Pacific region. As Washington exerts pressure on Russia to cease the conflict in Ukraine, and amid strengthening ties between Moscow and Beijing, the November summit presents an opportunity for the three nations to engage in dialogue.
