EU Riga summit 'not against Russia', Merkel says [View all]
The EU's Eastern Partnership "is not an instrument for pursuing an expansionist EU policy", German Chancellor Angela Merkel said ahead of the summit.
The partnership "is not directed against anyone, it's not against Russia", she said.
But Russia cannot yet rejoin the G7 group of leading nations, she added.
"So long as Russia does not comply with basic common values, a return to the G8 format is not imaginable for us." The G7 - grouping top industrialised nations - meets in Elmau, southern Germany, next month.
