Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that he would meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at a summit in Russia during August.
Putin made the announcement to journalists in Beijing on April 26 after meeting with Aliyev on the sidelines of China’s ‘Belt and Road’ forum – an initiative aimed at reviving the ancient Silk Road to connect Asia to Europe and Africa through massive investments in maritime, road and rail projects.
"We agreed to hold another Russian-Azerbaijani-Iranian summit in Russia in August," Putin said.
The three presidents last met at a summit in Tehran in November 2017.
