Beijing opposes the inclusion of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the agenda of the proposed negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
This was reported by Reuters, citing sources familiar with the Chinese side's position.
The three leaders are scheduled to meet on November 19 in Shenzhen, where they are scheduled to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. The summit will take place between November 18 and 19.
According to the agency, Donald Trump intends to use the negotiations to advance the idea of a trilateral agreement on nuclear arms control.
