Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, has suggested in a phone call with Donald Trump, the President of the United States, to hold a meeting with Xi Jinping, the leader of China. The aim of this meeting is to negotiate the end of the four-year war in Ukraine and to improve relations among these countries.
Details of Putin's Proposal
According to published reports, this proposal was made on October 9, 2023, and is related to the issue of purchasing diesel from Russia. It seems that this proposal follows developments in the relations between the United States and Russia. Trump recently signed an order lifting some key sanctions against Moscow and reached an agreement for purchasing diesel from the country.
Possible Meeting at APEC Summit
The proposed tripartite meeting could take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, which is scheduled to be held on November 18 and 19, 2023, in Shenzhen, China. Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, has confirmed that discussions about the possibility of holding this meeting are ongoing. He also noted that there is still no clear understanding regarding the actual holding of this meeting or its potential agenda.
A senior U.S. official has also addressed this issue, stating that Trump has not yet agreed to hold such a meeting, but he may welcome the idea. These developments reflect the ongoing tensions in international relations and the efforts to improve the economic and political situation in these countries.
Possible Consequences of Holding the Meeting
Holding this meeting could have significant implications for international relations and the economic policies of Russia, the United States, and China. If these three countries can reach an agreement on key issues such as the Ukraine war and diesel purchases, it may have positive effects on global markets and energy security. However, failure to reach an agreement and continued tensions could have negative consequences.
