Russian President Vladimir Putin is not planning to attend the G20 Summit in India next month, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian media on Thursday.
The main emphasis now is a special military operation, the Kremlin spokesperson said.
Putin had also skipped the recent summit of BRICS countries in South Africa and addressed the gathering via video link.
India holds the G20 Presidency this year and the G-20 Summit will be held from September 8-10 in New Delhi. The summit will have distinguished guests from all over the world.
The G20, or Group of Twenty, is an intergovernmental forum of the world’s 20 major developed and developing economies, making it the premier forum for international economic cooperation. (ANI)
