China is not expected to attend a meeting of national security advisers in Malta this weekend where officials from more than 55 nations will discuss Ukraine’s drive to build support for its so-called peace formula.

The list of attendees includes the Group of Seven countries, Qatar, South Africa, India and Turkey, according to people familiar with the matter. Some countries like Brazil and Chile are expected to participate online.
