Moscow,
Nov 3: Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that
discussion of a possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and
US President Donald Trump at the APEC summit in Vietnam on November 10-11 is
underway.
"We do not rule out the possibility of holding such a meeting, and it is actually being coordinated now," Peskov told reporters.
He said as soon as all details are clarified, an announcement will be made, adding that the importance of this meeting "in all international affairs can hardly be overestimated."
On Thursday, Trump said he can hold a meeting with the Russian leader during a Pacific Rim visit.
Trump said Putin is very important, because Russia may help the US with North Korea and Syria and that Ukraine should also be discussed.
Trump is due to visit Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines during his long Asian trip on November 5-14. In particular, he will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Vietnam’s Da Nang on November 10.
He will also attend a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Manila on November 12-13.
Putin and Trump first met face-to-face at the G20 summit in Hamburg this past July and also talked over the phone several times. UNI
