MOSCOW – Russia confirmed President Vladimir Putin would take part in a historic meeting with China’s Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump at a summit in Shenzhen in the coming week, state media reported on Nov 14.

“An agreement has been reached to hold a trilateral meeting on the 19th (of November) between President Putin, President Xi, and President Trump. This meeting will take place in Shenzhen on the sidelines of the APEC summit,” the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS news agency.

The talks on Nov 19, previously announced by Washington, would mark the first ever three-way meeting between the heads of state.

The leaders will meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in the southern Chinese city, a White House spokeswoman told reporters on Nov 13.

Discussions would include the reduction of nuclear weapons globally as well as the war in the Middle East, but not the conflict in Ukraine, according to the White House. AFP
