China confirms communication about a possible three-leader meeting

Arab News reported that a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed China is in communication with relevant parties about a meeting between Xi Jinping, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. If it takes place, it would be on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen this month; no meeting has been set. The confirmation makes clear that the communication concerns all three leaders, but does not settle whether China will proceed or what the agenda would be. Asharq News had reported that Trump’s stated focus was nuclear arms control. Citing German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, it also reported that Xi had said there were no plans for a trilateral summit on the Ukraine war and that Europeans should participate in any talks about it.
