Beijing opposes including the conflict in Ukraine on the agenda of the meeting between Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Donald Trump in Shenzhen. This was reported by Reuters, citing sources familiar with the Chinese side's position.
Citing an American source, the agency writes that Trump is not expected to raise the issue of the Ukrainian conflict at this meeting.
It was previously reported that the US president intends to use these negotiations to advance the idea of a tripartite agreement on nuclear arms control. At the same time, the Reuters news agency writes that Trump's proposal for nuclear negotiations is not acceptable to Beijing.
The first ever meeting of the leaders of Russia, China and the United States is scheduled for November 19 in Shenzhen, China.
