Why Putin Won't Go to the G20 Summit
The G20 summit will be held on November 18-19 in Rio de Janeiro.
On October 18, at a meeting with journalists from the BRICS countries, the Russian president announced that he would not attend the G20 summit so as not to disrupt it.
According to Putin, his appearance would disrupt the normal work of the summit.
The Russian President noted that Russia is in favor of this format not taking on additional political overtones.
He also assured that Russia will be worthily represented at the event.
Lavrov will head the Russian delegation at this event on Putin’s instructions, Berdyev said.
