Meeting between Putin and Obama still not on agenda

According to Kremlin spokesman, there have been no proposals to hold the meeting during the Russian president's visit to the 70th session of the UN General Assembly in New York

MOSCOW, September 10. /TASS/. The meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin with his US counterpart Barack Obama is still not scheduled, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.

"No news yet, such a meeting has not been included in the schedule," Peskov said, adding that "if any initiative emerges, then it will be studied more specifically."

"So far there have been no such proposals," Peskov said, speaking on whether Washington has suggested holding the bilateral meeting between the Russian and US leaders.

Putin will lead Russia’s delegation at the 70th session of the UN General Assembly due to be held in New York later this month.

Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov earlier said Moscow has not sent to the White House any request for a meeting of Putin and Obama on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

Putin and Obama had phone talks in July and discussed Russian-US dialogue on global security and stability and other international issues, including counter-terrorism.
