Moscow, October 22 (Xinhua) — The dates for the Russia-US summit have yet to be determined; time is needed, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov announced on Wednesday.
"The dates haven't been set; that's still to come. Thorough preparation is needed before that, and it takes time," said D. Peskov, responding to a TASS question about whether there's been a pause in preparations for the meeting between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, or whether the dates simply haven't been set yet.
The Russian president's press secretary also stated that there are currently no plans for a new telephone conversation between Putin and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He recalled that such a conversation took place on October 17 at the initiative of the Hungarian side. Orbán expressed his willingness to facilitate the organization of a possible Russian-American summit in Budapest.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Wednesday that preparations for the meeting between the Russian and US presidents are ongoing.
"We believe we need to focus on the substantive aspect, and that's what we're doing in light of the instructions we've received," the Russian Foreign Ministry representative emphasized.
“Therefore, we continue our preparations,” S. Ryabkov said. –0–
