Turkey, Russia and China to meet in trilateral leaders’ summit in Beijing
The leaders of Turkey, Russia and China will hold a trilateral summit in Beijing this weekend on the occasion of an international conference devoted to the revival of the historic Silk Road with the purpose of enhancing economic and trade cooperation, as well as discussing regional and global issues.
The trilateral summit will be held under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the first such meeting of its kind, as all three men will be present at the Silk Road Economic Belt Conference alongside dozens of countries stretching from Asia to Eastern Europe on May 14 and 15.
Along with a number of cabinet ministers and high-level civil servants, Erdoğan will depart from Ankara to China early on May 12 for the roughly 13-hour flight to China.
Erdoğan will represent Turkey at the summit before making an address to attending leaders at a round-table meeting on the sidelines of the conference. Erdoğan will also hold a separate meeting with Xi before participating in a trilateral summit with Russian and Chinese leaders.
The three leaders will discuss recent developments in Syria amid efforts to expand the cease-fire between the regime and the opposition through the Astana Process in which Turkey, Russia and Iran are playing a very significant role. Both Russia and China are permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and have not ceased their support for Syria’s leader, Bashar al-Assad, since unrest began in the country in early 2011.
