The first-ever Russia\u2013Arab summit<\/strong>, which Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/strong> had announced in May, has been postponed<\/strong> after key Arab leaders refused to confirm their attendance<\/strong>, Bloomberg<\/a><\/strong> reports, citing informed sources and Ukrinform<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summit, initially scheduled for October 15<\/strong>, was meant to be one of the Kremlin\u2019s top foreign policy events of the year<\/strong>, aimed at demonstrating to Western leaders \u2014 particularly U.S. President Donald Trump \u2014 that Russia enjoys influence and backing in the Arab world<\/strong>, one source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia had been preparing for the gathering since April<\/strong>, when Putin first announced the initiative. The Kremlin invited leaders of all 22 member states<\/strong> of the Arab League<\/strong> to Moscow under the slogan \u201cCooperation for Peace, Stability, and Security.\u201d<\/em> A dedicated summit website<\/strong> was launched on October 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, only a few accepted the invitation \u2014 Syria\u2019s new president Ahmad al-Sharaa<\/strong> and Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit<\/strong>.
Regional heavyweights such as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman<\/strong>, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan<\/strong>, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi<\/strong> did not confirm their attendance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, the Kremlin officially canceled the summit<\/strong>, citing the beginning of Gaza conflict resolution efforts under Trump\u2019s plan<\/strong> as the reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite disappointment over the setback, sources told Bloomberg that the Kremlin still hopes to reschedule the summit, likely in November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cPutin wanted to show everyone he\u2019s the leader of the so-called \u2018global majority.\u2019 But what kind of majority is that without the Arab world?\u201d \u2013 said political analyst Andrei Kolesnikov<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kolesnikov added that Putin \u201cwants to be as influential in the Middle East as the Soviet Union once was, but he lacks the resources<\/strong>.\u201d Even former Soviet republics<\/strong>, whose leaders met this week at a summit in Dushanbe<\/strong>, are pursuing multi-vector policies<\/strong>, Bloomberg notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported <\/strong>earlier, Putin traveled to Tajikistan on October 9<\/strong> to attend the Russia\u2013Central Asia summit<\/strong> and the CIS meeting<\/strong>.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch<\/strong> urged Tajikistan<\/strong> to deny Putin entry or arrest him<\/strong>, citing the International Criminal Court\u2019s warrant<\/strong> for his arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
