MOSCOW, June 25 (Xinhua) -- The Kremlin said Friday it regrets the decision of the European Union (EU) to cancel its potential summit with Russia, according to the TASS news agency.

"We were informed that a number of countries spoke out against this dialogue at yesterday's summit," TASS reported, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin remains interested in building relations between Moscow and Brussels and this continues to be relevant for Russia.

France and Germany proposed to hold a summit with Putin, yet this decision was met with rejection from some EU members at a meeting held on Thursday in Brussels. Enditem
