American president Joe Biden and Russian president Vladimir Putin are officially scheduled to meet in Geneva, Switzerland, on 16 June.

According to the White House's Tuesday's announcement, the two world leaders will discuss the full range of pressing issues, as they seek to restore predictability and stability to the U.S.-Russia relationship.

As per the Associated Press said quoting to a statement of the Kremlin, Biden and Putin will discuss the current state and prospects of the Russian-US relations, strategic stability issues and the acute problems on the international agenda, including interaction in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and settlement of regional conflicts.

The meeting is going to take place during Biden's first trip abroad as president, and with US-Russia tensions at the highest level seen since the Cold War. 

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday told reporters that she expected Biden and Putin to discuss arms control following the extension of the New START Treaty, US support for Ukrainian sovereignty, and the president's concerns over recent events in Belarus. 

Earlier to that, Biden on Monday had condemned the Belarusian government for diverting a commercial flight and forcing it to land in Minsk. After the forced landing, authorities arrested Roman Protasevich, a prominent dissident who's been critical of Belarus's authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko--an ally of Putin's.

As mentioned by agencies, Biden will also travel to Cornwall, England, from June 11 to 13  to participate in the G7 summit. After that, the president is scheduled to head to Brussels for a NATO summit and meetings with EU leaders.
