BEIJING, CHINA – Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives in China for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Chinese President Xi Jinping presides over a welcoming ceremony for visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin and participates in bilateral talks in a narrow format.
Vladimir Putin has arrived in Beijing for a state visit, four days after Donald Trump left China. Putin was greeted by China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, when he landed on Tuesday evening, with an honour guard alongside Chinese youths waving China and Russia’s national flags in a welcome ceremony on the tarmac. The Russian leader’s visit to China – his 25th, according to Chinese state media – reflects Beijing’s growing confidence on the world stage as a centre of global diplomatic activity.
It also underscores the deep relationship between Putin and China’s leader, Xi Jinping. The two men have met more than 40 times, far outstripping Xi’s encounters with any western leaders. less than a week after U.S. President Donald Trump wrapped up his own trip to Beijing. Putin is scheduled to be in China on Tuesday and Wednesday, in a visit likely to be closely watched as Beijing seeks to maintain stable relations with the United States while also preserving strong ties with Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Chinese capital Tuesday for a state visit clearly calibrated to show Beijing and Moscow’s alignment in the face of global geopolitical upheaval.
Both Beijing and Moscow are navigating shifting relationships with Trump’s United States, and are weighing up whether to play any role in helping to end a US-Iran conflict that’s ensnared global oil supplies and distracted Washington from Russia’s own yearslong war in Ukraine.
