US President Joe Biden, Chinese President Xi Jinping and other world leaders will attend the two-day summit, which will begin on November 15 in Bali.
BIDEN WAS COMING SIDE FOR THE FIRST TIME
It was predicted that Biden and Putin would come together for the first time since Russia’s war on Ukraine in February, on the occasion of the G20 Summit, but with the announcement that the Russian President would not attend the meeting, the possible tension between US leader Biden and his allies and Putin was blocked.
