‘We never left’: Putin on Trump’s call to have Russia back with G7
Russia has never turned its back on the G7, Vladimir Putin said, speaking at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). The latter, however, is now stronger in some aspects, including power parity, he added.
“As for Russia’s return to ‘the seven,’ ‘the eight’ [G7, G8] – we have not left it. Our colleagues once refused to come to Russia due to well-known reasons. We will be happy to see everyone in Moscow,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a news conference in Qingdao, where the SCO summit took place.
