[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jung] On the 16th (local time), Russia announced that a joint document might be adopted following the US-Russia summit held in Geneva, Switzerland.

Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesperson, said that "nothing will be signed," but added, "We do not rule out the adoption of a (joint document)."

In the afternoon, US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a summit, but they are not expected to hold a joint press conference.

This summit takes place amid sharp confrontations between the two countries over Russia's alleged interference in last year's US presidential election and federal agency hacking, the suppression of Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny, the conflict in eastern Ukraine, and the situation in Belarus.
