[(Title)] Putin to Attend Austrian Foreign Minister's Wedding, Won't Reveal His Gift.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will take a detour on his way to Germany this month and attend the wedding of Austria's top diplomat as a surprise guest, the Kremlin announced.

克里姆林宫宣布，俄罗斯总统普京将于本月绕道前往德国，作为“惊喜嘉宾”出席奥地利高级外交官的婚礼。

The event will be a rare social appearance by Putin in Western Europe since relations with Russia deteriorated over the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the ensuing war in eastern Ukraine.

这次事件将是普京在西欧罕见的社交露面，此前欧洲与俄罗斯的关系因2014年吞并克里米亚以及随后在乌克兰东部的战争而恶化。

It will be Putin's second visit to Austria this year, after meeting with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz in June. The Kremlin said it was then that the prospect of Putin's return first came up.

这是普京自今年六月与奥地利总理塞巴斯蒂安·库尔兹会晤后对奥地利的第二次访问。克里姆林宫表示，那时普京就有了再来（奥地利）的想法。

"It was precisely in Vienna when he received the invitation from the minister and accepted it with pleasure,"  Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to news broadcaster  RBC.

据新闻广播公司RBC报道，普京的发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫说：“正是在维也纳，他接到部长的邀请并高兴地接受了。”

Austria's Foreign Minister Karina Kneissl, 53, is marrying businessman Wolfgang Meilinger in Austria's Styria state, according to German public broadcaster  Deutsche Welle, citing Austrian news outlets.

据德国公共广播德意志公司引用奥地利新闻媒体的报道，奥地利外交部长卡琳·克奈斯将嫁给奥地利施蒂里亚州的商人沃尔夫冈·梅灵格，奥地利总统库尔兹以及反移民阵线党党首也将出席本次婚礼，该党与普京的俄罗斯联合党有联系，并且提名独立党克奈斯担任外交部长职务。

Kurz is also expected to attend, as well as the head of Austria's anti-migrant FPO party, which has links with Putin's United Russia and nominated Kneissl, an independent, for the foreign minister role.

Putin is scheduled to visit Germany on an official working trip to Chancellor Angela Merkel's retreat outside Berlin on August 18, and his attendance at the wedding will not affect his official schedule, according to Peskov.

根据普京发言人的说法，普京计划于8月18日对德国进行正式工作访问，与总理安吉拉·默克尔将在柏林郊外度假村会面，普京参加婚礼不会影响他的正式日程。

"This is a private function, so there is no protocol there,"  Peskov said, according to state news agency  RIA Novosti.

据国家通讯社RIANovosti报道，佩斯科夫说:“这是一项私人宴会，因此没有协议。”这位发言人轻描淡写这次访问是罕见的、不寻常的，说普京过去曾在海外参加过此类活动，但没有透露任何细节。当被问到普京计划给新婚夫妇带来什么礼物时，佩斯科夫也同样保持神秘：“现在我还不能说，我们会宣布的。”
