The President of the Russian Federation arrived in Buenos Aires and held a meeting with the heads of the BRICS countries
A spokesman for the head of state once again had to answer the question of whether the meeting of the presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States would take place. According to Dmitry Peskov, there will not be a full-fledged meeting and negotiations, but "the presidents will talk on their feet."
Upon arrival in Buenos Aires, the Russian president held a meeting with colleagues from the BRICS countries. Judging by the photo from the Brazilian reporters, the meeting was more than positive:
During the meeting, Vladimir Putin referred to the Western practice of sanctions pressure, the unilateral US withdrawal from the INF Treaty, as well as the need to find joint solutions to resolve the Syrian conflict.
After this meeting, bilateral talks are scheduled with the heads of state of this association. So, a dialogue with the PRC Chairman Xi Jinping took place. Further, it is planned to expand the format to a tripartite - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will join.
Today’s program of meetings and talks of the Russian president does not end there. Expected meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. Negotiations with Angela Merkel were also expected, but today it became known that she would miss the first day of the summit in connection with the incident with the plane of the first person of Germany.
The first day will end with a solemn reception hosted by Argentine President Mauricio Macri.
Summit, we recall, a two-day. Tomorrow the program will be completed. Sunday is already coming in Moscow at this time.
