Russia, US, and China discuss potential leadership summit agenda

Russia, the United States, and China are currently drafting proposals for a potential meeting between their leaders ahead of the APEC summit, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. Peskov noted that while parties are proposing agenda items, reaching a consensus remains a challenge as some points may be viewed as unsuitable by certain sides.

In a separate diplomatic development, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States are scheduled to hold tripartite talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11. This marks the first such meeting since February, aimed at finding a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The Russian delegation, led by Kremlin advisor Vladimir Medinsky, will include high-ranking officials such as Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov and military officials.

Meanwhile, Iran has expressed conditions for resuming nuclear negotiations with the United States. Iranian official Ali Bagheri Kani stated that Tehran requires visible practical actions from Washington rather than just written pledges. This follows a meeting in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iran’s National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezai, during which Putin reportedly encouraged direct negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
