俄罗斯:普京愿意与川普总统会谈

俄罗斯外交部长拉夫罗夫说,普京总统愿意接受川普总统提出的在华盛顿会面的邀请。

拉夫罗夫在接受俄罗斯国有的国际新闻通讯社采访时说,普京愿意参加这样的会谈。

拉夫罗夫说:“我们这样说是根据美国总统在打电话时发出的邀请。这点已经众所周知,没有秘密。他说他将很高兴在白宫(与普京)见面。”

拉夫罗夫还说,川普总统在与普京通电话期间几次提到会面的邀请,并表示他愿意回访俄罗斯。

川普总统和普京总统早些时候同意有可能在华盛顿举行峰会。

川普总统在俄罗斯总统大选两天后于3月20号给普京打电话,祝贺他当选俄罗斯总统。

白宫和克里姆林宫说,两位总统在电话中讨论了见面会谈的可能性。

Russia: Putin Ready to Meet Trump

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said that President Vladimir Putin is willing to accept U.S. President Donald Trump’s invitation to meet in Washington.

In an interview with state-operated RIA Novosti news agency, Lavrov said that Putin is “ready for such a meeting.”

“We are guided by the fact that the U.S. President, in a telephone conversation – which is a known fact already, there is no secret – extended such an invitation and said he would be happy to see [Putin] in the White House.”

Lavrov added that Trump returned to the subject of the invitation a couple of times during the phone call with Putin and told him he would be happy to make a reciprocal visit to Russia.

Earlier Trump and Putin agreed on a possible summit in Washington.

Trump telephoned Putin on March 20 to congratulate him on winning the Russian presidential election two days earlier.

The White House and the Kremlin said at the time the two presidents discussed the possibility of meeting in person.
