The Kremlin is not making specific preparations for a meeting between President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Donald Trump of the United States in China in September, but such a meeting remains possible if both leaders travel to Beijing at the same time, TASS reported citing Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
"No specific preparations are underway for such a meeting because there is no mutual arrangement for a meeting," he said, according to TASS.
Peskov confirmed Putin’s plans to visit Beijing in early September. "If it happens that the US president decides to visit China on the same dates, then, in theory, such a meeting could take place, as long as both heads of state are in the same city," the Russian presidential spokesman added.
"So far, no final decisions have been made, and no preparations are underway," Peskov concluded.
