Putin's State Visit to China: Photo Highlights

Subscribe
Russian President Vladimir Putin is on a state visit to China from May 16 to 17, during which the leaders of the two countries will discuss an array of bilateral and global issues aimed to further develop the cooperation between the nations.
Vladimir Putin's latest visit to China's capital is his first foreign trip since his inauguration for a new term of office — in match with his Chinese counter part Xi Jinping's visit to Russia after his re-election in 2023.
That attests to the deep ties and the mutual respect between Moscow and Beijing, which continue to grow and strengthen despite external pressure.
The delegations will address security issues, trade cooperation, cultural exchange and further comprehensive partnership across all areas.

“Both countries conduct independent foreign policy. We work in solidarity on forming a more just and democratic multipolar world order which should rely on the central role of the United Nations and its Security Council, international law and the cultural and civilizational diversity, a verified balance of interests of all participants of the world community,” Putin said following talks with Xi in Beijing.
