“For some reason, we are only talking about the G20, but a large number of international forums are planned for November. I can remind you: November 11-13 East Asia summit, November 15-16 G20 summit, then November 18-19 APEC summit in Bangkok. And on November 23, the CSTO summit will take place in Yerevan. There are a lot of events, and Putin received an invitation to all these events," Ushakov told reporters.

When asked about the format of Putin’s participation in the G20 summit, Ushakov said “we will see".
The G20 is an intergovernmental forum comprising 19 countries and the European Union, which altogether account for 85% of global GDP, 75% of international trade and two-thirds of the world’s population.
