It was reported that the USA informed Russia through bilateral channels that Washington does not intend to invite some leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, to the APEC summit to be held in San Francisco. In response, Moscow sent a request to the United States asking it to fulfill its responsibilities as the state chairing APEC and send an invitation to Putin. This was announced by Marat Berdyev, Grand Ambassador of the Russian Foreign Ministry and Russia’s senior representative to APEC. RIA News.
Previously, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin does not expect Putin to be invited to the APEC summit and has not yet made any decisions about Russia’s possible participation.
Berdyev noted: “The United States informed us through bilateral channels that they do not plan to invite a large number of leaders this year due to current sanctions restrictions.” However, Russia continues to work with the American side to ensure the final implementation of the necessary actions required by the country hosting the event. Berdyev, for his part, is actively engaging with them as a high-ranking representative of the Russian Federation and has re-sent a request calling for an invitation to the Russian leader.
