Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin to celebrate the conversations of June 16 in this Swiss Villa of the 18th century

Geneva: The President of the United States, Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, are established to celebrate his June Summit in a Swiss 18th century villa overlooking Lake Geneva, a relaxing surroundings for which he promises to be heated conversations .

Bitter responses on election interference, cybernetics, human rights and Ukraine hang over their first face-to-face meeting from Biden took office on January 20.

Strategic nuclear stability and regional conflicts will be on the table. Biden, who must reach Great Britain on Wednesday at the beginning of his first trip abroad as president, said he presses Putin to respect human rights.

Putin said last Friday he hoped that the conversations will be held in a positive environment, although he anticipated any progress.

He said that the accusations that Russian hackers were behind a cybercatcher who interrupted the production of meat in North America and Australia were an attempt to provoke a political row before the summit, reported Interfax News Agency.

Despite the “destructive noise” on both sides, a mutual objective has emerged from putting their relationship “from a more predictable and stable basis,” said Robert Leggold, professor emeritus at the University of Colombia and an expert in Russia.

“Over time, Geneva summits have been critical for the relationship,” he said to journalists in the Swiss city on Wednesday.

“And when it comes to really working in important areas of cooperation, strategic control of nuclear weapons, most of these conversations have also been in Geneva.”

Diplomatic sources expect the confirmation of the place later on Wednesday or Thursday. The Swiss police and army have closed the two parks surrounding the Villa La Grange and installed barricades and barbed wire.

Neutral Switzerland, which did not join Western sanctions against Russia by its annexation of 2014 of the Crimean region of Ukraine, pushed hard to land the first high-power summit in the Alpine country in decades.

“Restart”

In the era of the Cold War, the president of the United States, Ronald Reagan and the Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev celebrated his first summit in Geneva in November 1985 and agreed to look for courts in his nuclear arsenals.

In Geneva, in 2009, the Secretary of State of the USA UU Hillary Clinton gave the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Sergei Lavrov, a yellow box with a red button “reestablish” to symbolize the improved links under the president Barack Obama. But the word “reboot” was ill translated into the Russian word for “overload”, creating an uncomfortable moment.

The Secretary of State of the United States, Antonio, Blinken and Lavrov, will accompany Biden and Putin.

The classic villa is located in a park along the left bank. Drotted from reds, rose-sized shrubs and ancient sources, the park offers a breathtaking view of Lake Geneva and sailboats.

Biden is also scheduled to celebrate talks with Swiss President Guy Parmelin.
