US, China and Russia Cannot Agree on Format of Leaders' Meeting
Published
According to The Wall Street Journal, the United States, China and Russia have so far been unable to agree on the format of a possible meeting of their leaders. The main reason for the disagreement concerns how the meeting itself should be conducted.
According to the newspaper, Beijing proposes limiting the event to participants simply reading out prepared statements. At the same time, the Chinese side does not want to discuss nuclear weapons. As a result, the positions of the parties on this issue differ sharply.
The question of nuclear weapons remains one of the most important in relations between major powers. For the United States and Russia, nuclear arms and arms control have long been the subject of serious discussion. China also possesses nuclear weapons, and its participation in such negotiations has been under discussion for several years. Therefore, Beijing's refusal to discuss this topic makes the talks more complicated.
For Russia, such negotiations are important because they concern security and strategic stability in the world. It is not yet known whether the meeting will take place and when. The parties continue to discuss the conditions, and no final decision on the format has been made yet.
