Russia, China rejects idea of holding summit for democracy: Ambassadors to US

Washington, Nov 27 (UNI/Sputnik) Russia and China are firmly rejecting the US idea to hold the Summit for Democracy as it creates new dividing lines in the international community which contradicts the development of the modern world, the countries' ambassadors to the US said in a joint article published in National Interest.
On Tuesday, the United States unveiled a list of 110 countries invited to attend a democracy summit on December 9-10. Russia and China are not invited to take part in the summit.
"The United States will be hosting the online Summit for Democracy on December 9-10, 2021, empowering itself to define who is to attend the event and who is not, who is a “democratic country” and who is not eligible for such status," the ambassadors – Anatoly Antonov and Qin Gang – said.
