MOSCOW, July 13 -- Moscow hopes the upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump will be the first step towards normalizing relations between the two countries, the Kremlin said Friday.
"The goal of the upcoming meeting is to finally begin efforts to improve the negative situation in the Russia-U.S. relations, to take concrete steps to normalize them, to rebuild a more or less acceptable level of trust, and to try to outline steps that will make it possible to resume mutually beneficial cooperation on matters of mutual interest," Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said when briefing the media about details of the meeting.
Putin and Trump are scheduled to hold a full-fledged summit in Finland's capital Helsinki on July 16.
The summit will begin with a tete-a-tete meeting between Putin and Trump at the presidential palace in Helsinki, and then there will be negotiations in the format of a working meal also involving the delegations, followed by a joint press conference where both presidents will make statements and answer questions, according to Ushakov.
No time limit has been set for the top-level talks, and it is up to Putin and Trump whether to sign a joint communiqué after the talks, he added.
"So far it has been decided...to allow the presidents to decide whether there will be some joint document or they will be limited to summarizing at a joint press conference," Ushakov said.
