German Chancellor will go to Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin on Saturday this week. Discussions are planned to escalate the situation in Iran, as well as the conflicts in Ukraine, Libya and Syria.
Russian President Vladimir Putin invited German Chancellor Angela Merkel to Russia next weekend to discuss increasing tensions in the Middle East following the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleianiman.
The Kremlin confirmed that the meeting is scheduled to take place on January 11th, but did not declare where it would take place. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas will also attend the meeting.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, Russia is the necessary “” when it comes to resolving political conflicts, German government spokesman Stephen Seibert said.
In addition to the Middle East crisis, conflicts in Syria and Libya, where Turkey has just begun deploying troops, will also be on the agenda. Russia said it will support Germany's peace initiative in the region.
It is thought that both leaders could discuss the Ukraine situation, continuing since the Russian Crimea annexation in 2014.
