China, Vietnam Back Russian Bid for APEC Presidency in 2035: Russian Diplomat
Russian diplomat Andrey Rudenko said ASEAN countries have also responded positively to Moscow's bid, according to TASS.
China and Vietnam have expressed support for Russia's bid to hold the APEC presidency in 2035, according to Russian diplomat Andrey Rudenko, as reported by TASS.
Rudenko said "similar assurances were received during senior officials' contacts with representatives of ASEAN countries," adding that a number of other delegations had also reacted positively to Moscow's bid.
APEC, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, rotates its presidency among member economies, and broad support from other members is typically seen as important for a successful bid.
TASS's report, citing the Russian diplomat, did not name the additional delegations reported to have reacted positively or provide further detail on the timeline for a formal decision.
