MOSCOW, September 5. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping did not discuss their decision not to visit the G20 Summit in New Delhi, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.

"[They made their decisions] based on their own schedules," the spokesman said, answering a question if the two leaders coordinated their decision or if each side made this decision based on their own considerations.

Previously, the media reported that the Russian delegation to the summit will be led by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, while the Chinese delegation will be led by Chinese Premier Li Qiang.
