Russia will send a high-level delegation to the G20 summit in Miami
Russia intends to participate in the December G20 summit in Miami at a high representative level, but the final composition of the delegation has not yet been approved. This was announced on November 7 by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander Pankin.
"Usually, such a decision (Determining the composition of the delegation) is made by us and our colleagues the day before," the diplomat explained in an interview with TASS.
According to Pankin, the American authorities have already sent an official invitation to Moscow for the upcoming meeting. In addition, U.S. representatives have repeatedly publicly stated their interest in the personal presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Deputy Foreign Minister noted that such actions correspond to the duties of the American side as chairman of the G20.
On November 1, the head of EU diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, spoke out against the idea of the US authorities inviting Putin to the G20 summit. The head of EU diplomacy expressed concern that Russia's invitation to the summit would signal a return to the usual format of international cooperation.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on the same day, commenting on Callas' statement, compared the European official to a "scarecrow in the beautiful garden of the EU" who is trying to instill fear with meaningless statements. The diplomat noted that there has been no "harvest" in Europe for a long time due to the actions of the leaders of the association themselves, so such calls do not make sense.
