Russian Foreign Ministry: Putin will personally decide on a trip to the G20 summit

Russian President Vladimir Putin will personally decide on a trip to the G20 summit in Miami in December, where he was invited by the United States. This was stated by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

It is clear that the meeting in the format of the Group of Twenty is one of the most important international events in the calendar of any year. But it is too early to talk about any specifics related to this invitation. They were gratefully taken to work, to say the least, Ryabkov told reporters (quoted by Interfax).

The G20 summit will take place on December 14-15. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Vladimir Putin’s participation would be a good opportunity for his contacts not only with Donald Trump, but also with other world leaders. Sources Bloomberg reported that the Russian leader will miss the summit. The Kremlin said a decision had not yet been made, but that Russia was still participating in the association anyway.

The G20 is an informal club of 19 leading developed and developing countries. In addition to the United States and Russia, the Group of Twenty includes China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Turkey.
