Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be going to the G20 summit in India in early September in person.
Such a visit is currently not on the calendar, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday in Moscow, reports DW.
Peskov added that Putin had just attended a gathering of leaders from the BRICS group of emerging economies in South Africa by video link, not in person. The form of his participation in the G20 summit is to be clarified later, the spokesman said.
The meeting will take place on September 9 and 10 in New Delhi. Putin also did not fly to Indonesia for the G20 summit last year.
