Russian President Vladimir Putin said he supports the idea of holding a meeting with the leaders of the United States and China, but added that such a gathering would need a defined agenda, according to the state news agency TASS.
Putin reportedly noted that dialogue between major powers is beneficial overall, suggesting openness to engagement even as he emphasized the need for structured discussion rather than a symbolic gathering.

The available reporting does not indicate when or where such a meeting might take place, nor does it specify what topics Putin believes should be on the agenda. It also does not include any response from US or Chinese officials regarding the proposal.
