Beijing opposes discussing Ukraine at a meeting of the leaders of Russia, China and the United States.
According to Reuters, citing sources, China has objected to discussing the conflict in Ukraine in the expected negotiations between Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. An American official told the agency that Trump probably won't raise the issue either.
The Reuters article states that Moscow has asked for dialogue on the conflict, while Beijing has resisted putting the issue on the agenda. The agency notes that the exact content of the conversation and the format of the negotiations at the APEC summit are still unknown.
The leaders' meeting is expected to take place on November 19 in Shenzhen on the sidelines of the APEC summit.
