Ushakov, a Russian presidential aide, said on October 6 that a proposed meeting of the leaders of the United States, China and Russia has not yet entered concrete planning. “This is a very interesting idea, but no one has yet begun concrete consideration of it,” Ushakov said, according to Interfax, as reported by Sankei Shimbun. Nishi-Nippon Shimbun and Tokyo Shimbun carried the same claim in identically worded headlines the following morning. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
The three-way meeting has been discussed in connection with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders' meeting to be held in Shenzhen, China, in November. Ushakov said Putin will definitely meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Shenzhen. He added that Trump's participation in APEC “does not appear to be 100 percent confirmed,” and that if a trilateral meeting is held, China as the host would take the lead. [ 3 ]
Putin said on October 1 that he supported the US-China-Russia meeting that media have been discussing, but that an agenda was needed. “Whatever kind of three-way meeting it is, we have to understand what will be discussed,” he said. The reports gave no agenda, date or venue for a trilateral meeting beyond the APEC link, and no US or Chinese statement on the plan appears in the documents. [ 3 ]
The full articles from Tokyo Shimbun and Nishi-Nippon Shimbun were not available: Tokyo Shimbun's page showed registration prompts and unrelated headlines, and Nishi-Nippon Shimbun carried only a headline, so their reporting could be used only for the shared headline claim. [ 1 , 2 ]
Почему это важно
A three-way meeting would bring together the leaders of the United States, China and Russia at a summit hosted by China, with the host cast as the driving party if it happens. Ushakov's remarks indicate that planning has not started and that the format, including whether Trump attends, remains open, so Japanese readers have no confirmed schedule to plan around.
