Moscow Open to Trilateral Meeting with US and Chinese Leaders at APEC
Russia Considers High-Level Diplomatic Engagements at APEC Summit
MOSCOW, Sept 6 (Reuters) – Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Sunday that Moscow has not ruled out a trilateral meeting between the presidents of Russia, the U.S. and China, state news agency TASS reported.
Conditions for Trilateral Meeting
However, before moving on to the actual preparations, it is necessary to understand what the meeting’s agenda would be, Ryabkov said.
Agenda and Expectations
“Here, the main question boils down to how the substance of the meeting will be formulated, and what we can expect as a result.”
Potential Venue and Timing
Earlier this month, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov raised the possibility of Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping meeting at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China, in November.
Host Responsibilities and Diplomatic Preparations
On Sunday, Ushakov was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying that while such a meeting of Russian, U.S. and Chinese leaders “would not be without merit,” its organisation was the prerogative of the summit’s hosts.
Feasibility of the Trilateral Summit
“If they are able to organise such a meeting – and this requires a certain amount of diplomatic preparation – then I think it could take place,” Ushakov said.
Other Planned Bilateral Meetings
The Kremlin also plans to set up bilateral meetings for Putin during the summit, including one with Xi Jinping, and, “if the opportunity arises,” a meeting with Trump, Ushakov said.
