The Kremlin announced on Thursday that it will “analyze” the invitation extended by President Donald Trump to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to participate in the G20 summit scheduled for December in the United States, reports AFP and Reuters, according to News.ro.
“No decision has been made yet,” said Dmitri Peskov, the spokesman for the Russian presidency, at the daily press conference, stating that a “great importance” is given to this invitation made public on Wednesday by the American Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“We will analyze it, then we will make a decision accordingly,” Dmitri Peskov conveyed.
When asked about what the two presidents might discuss, the Kremlin’s spokesperson, Dmitri Peskov, told reporters: “It’s premature to talk about this at the moment. No decision has been made yet. We certainly appreciate this kind invitation, we consider it important, and it will be analyzed and coordinated, after which an appropriate decision will be made,” said Peskov.
The invitation was made public on Wednesday by the American Secretary of State Marco Rubio, shortly after a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in New York, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
The G20 Summit will take place in Miami, Florida, on the 14th and 15th of December. This year, the United States holds the rotating presidency of this forum for economic cooperation between the world’s leading developed and emerging countries.
