MOSCOW, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Sunday that Moscow has not ruled out a trilateral meeting between the presidents of Russia, the U.S. and China has not been ruled out, state news agency TASS reported.
Agenda as a Prerequisite
However, before moving on to the actual preparations for the meeting, it is necessary to understand what its agenda will be, Ryabkov said.
Key Considerations for the Meeting
"Here, the main question boils down to how the substance of the meeting will be formulated, and what we can expect as a result."
