Russia on Sunday denied it has discussed participation in an online G7 ministerial meeting about Afghanistan.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated this.

China and Russia are expected to take part in the meeting despite not being members of the Group of Seven (G7) nations, Nikkei reported earlier on Sunday, referring to comments Japan's foreign minister Toshimitsu Motegi made on NHK television.

"We received signals from Berlin and Paris two days ago regarding some meeting, but there was nothing said about G7," Interfax quoted Zakharova as saying.
