The President of Germany announced that China has no plans to prepare for a summit on Ukraine and there are no preconditions for holding consultations on this issue with the participation of the United States, Russia and China, Frank-Walter Steinmeier noted. In an interview with Daily News TV, he said that during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, he asked him directly about possible negotiations. "He referred to the upcoming APEC summit, which will be held in the city of Shenzhen," Steinmeier said. The German president made it clear that on the sidelines of the APEC summit there will likely be a conversation between American, Russian and Chinese representatives, but they do not plan to discuss the Ukrainian issue during this meeting.
