Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed the creation of what he called a “gas hub” in Turkey, through which Russian gas could be sold to the European market.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who will not attend the summit for life, has proposed the creation of what he called a “gas hub” in Turkey, through which Russian gas could be sold to the European market.

Russian and Indonesian officials said today that Putin will not attend the summit in person, but may participate via video conference. The head of the Russian delegation in Bali will be Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

“The trust and respect between us encourages us to take this kind of step. That’s how things have worked so far. Solidarity between us, in areas such as nuclear energy, (…) initiatives in the defense industry, foster respect between us,” he said.
