MOSCOW — Talks are underway to arrange a second meeting between President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and President Trump on the sidelines of an Asian economic summit meeting next week in Vietnam, the Kremlin said on Friday.

“It is indeed being discussed,” Dmitri S. Peskov, the spokesman for Mr. Putin, said on Friday. “It is hard to overestimate the importance and significance of any contact between the president of Russia and the United States for all international matters.”

The meeting would take place while the two leaders were attending the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation summit meeting in Danang, Vietnam.

Any meeting would come amid continued tensions between the two countries, with Mr. Trump under pressure in Washington for seemingly dragging his feet on implementing new sanctions against Russia over accusations that it meddled in the 2016 American presidential election.
