Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Putin Not Invited To Manchester G20 Summit, Says Burnham
Caption: Putin Not Invited To Manchester G20 Summit, Says Burnham. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be invited to the G20 summit in Manchester next year. Burnham said sanctions against senior Russian officials meant Putin would not be welcome at the November 2027 gathering. Britain has maintained a policy of avoiding direct bilateral engagement with Russian ministers since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The decision contrasts with US President Donald Trump's invitation to Putin for this December's G20 summit in Miami. The Kremlin has not confirmed whether the Russian leader will attend. Russia remains a member of the G20, despite the war in Ukraine dominating recent summits. Burnham also said the Manchester meeting would offer an opportunity to work with Chinese President Xi Jinping on international safety regulations for artificial intelligence.
