International

Putin’s foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, announced that President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Joe Biden will discuss the situation in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and other issues during the summit scheduled to be held on Wednesday in Geneva.

Commenting on the meeting’s agenda, Sputnik agency quoted Ushakov as saying that “the two sides will discuss the status and prospects for developing Russian-American relations, issues of strategic stability, information security, combating cybercrime, in addition to prospects for trade and investment cooperation, climate, the Arctic, and the fight against the Coronavirus.”

 

Ushakov noted  that regional problems will be left to the end, as they will discuss in particular the Middle East issues, the situation in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, the Korean Peninsula and Ukraine. The nuclear agreement signed between Iran and the P5+1 group, Nagorno-Karabakh issue and the situation in Belarus will be on the table.

Ushakov pointed out that there will be great focus on strategic stability due to the accumulation of many serious problems in this field in recent years because of a number of unilateral steps taken by the United States, including withdrawal from international agreements to limit the development of weapons.

He pointed out that the relations between the two countries have reached a critical stage and the summit may contribute to reaching a kind of understanding on some issues between the two sides.

The summit between Putin and Biden will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, on Wednesday. This will be their first meeting since Biden’s election as president of the United States early this year.
