Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump could meet in Paris on Nov. 11 if both leaders take part in the same event to commemorate the end of World War I, RIA news agency cited the Russian foreign ministry as saying on Friday.

Russia is open to dialogue and would be ready to consider times and locations of a possible meeting between the two leaders if Washington were also interested, the ministry said.

The two leaders had their first one-on-one summit in Helsinki, Finland in mid-July this year in the midst of various tensions concerning Iran, Syria and Crimea, as well as the unprecedented alienation between the United States and its trans-Atlantic allies over trade and defense.
