SEOUL/MOSCOW/LONDON - South Korean President Moon Jae-in told US President Donald Trump on Monday that he would willingly accept the American leader's invitation to join this year's Group of Seven summit, South Korea's presidential Blue House said in a statement.Mr Trump said on Saturday that he is postponing until September the G-7 summit that had been scheduled for late June, and that he wants to invite Australia, Russia, South Korea and India to the meeting.
"If at an appropriate time, a meeting can take place successfully, it will be a signal that the world is returning to normal conditions and economy," Mr Moon said, according to the statement. "We don't know the details of this proposal yet, we don't know if it is official," he said, adding that Moscow needed to know what might be on the agenda of the proposed meeting and its format, before responding.
"There are very comfortable and effective mechanisms for all participants for international dialogue, such as the G-20, which allows the world's leading economies to discuss the most pressing problems," he said."Trump's intention to invite Putin as a guest of the #G7 makes no sense for Russia. All blame, no gain is what it'll get.
