MOSCOW — A trilateral summit involving Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping may be held during the next Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) gathering, according to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov. The possibility was raised as discussions continue regarding the schedule and participants for the regional economic forum.
Such a meeting would represent a rare convergence of the three major powers at a single diplomatic event. APEC, which brings together 21 economies across the Asia-Pacific region, serves as a platform for high-level political and economic discussions on regional issues.
The proposed trilateral engagement comes amid evolving geopolitical dynamics in the Asia-Pacific region. The forum provides an established setting for leaders to address trade, economic cooperation and regional security concerns affecting member economies.
While the Kremlin indicated the meeting remains under consideration rather than confirmed, it underscores Russia's interest in engaging with both the United States and China on multilateral issues affecting the broader Asia-Pacific region. Further details regarding the timing and agenda of such discussions would likely emerge as APEC planning progresses.
