Xi’s three-day state visit to Russia, the first trip abroad of the Chinese leader after he was re-elected as Chinese president at this year’s two sessions, was of great significance, not only to China-Russia relations but also to the world as it faces mounting challenges and bouts of geopolitical and economic turbulence.
Chinese President Xi Jinping continued his state visit in Russia, meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on Tuesday. Xi invited the two Russian leaders to visit China, as analysts said this shows that high-level mutual-trust and coordination between the two major powers are solid and will be elevated to a higher level despite the turbulence in the world.
President Xi Jinping is scheduled to kick off a three-day visit to Russia on Monday that is expected to guide the high-level China-Russia relationship further forward.
"Xi Jinping’s [potential] visit to Moscow would be very important as Russia and China are currently in a cold war with the West, which we did not start but, rather, this war was imposed on us," Yury Tavrovsky said
