" "If everyone thinks that there is already a signal of the readiness of such a meeting by Biden, then this confidence, as I understand, is based on his phrase -" Look ". . .
This is probably more for journalistic analytical fictions than for real policy ", - Lavrov replied. The G20 leaders meeting is scheduled for November 15-16 on Bali Island. Indonesia Minister Retno Marudy confirmed that Putin would take part in the summit. "So far, the answer to our invitation is positive," Marudi said.
