Russia-US dialogue could continue at APEC forum in China — Russian MFA

Ambassador-at-Large Marat Berdyev says the platform is relevant for building a dialogue between major economies

MOSCOW, May 20. /TASS/. Russian-US dialogue could be continued on the sidelines of the APEC summit scheduled for November 18-19 in China’s Shenzhen, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Marat Berdyev told Izvestia.

It is important that all forum members embrace this positive momentum, including the Americans," Berdyev added.
