The Chinese president’s visit to Russia has been confirmed. The Chinese president will arrive in Moscow next Monday and stay for three days.
According to the Kremlin and the Chinese Foreign Ministry, President Xi Jinping of China will make a state visit to Russia next Monday. The trip will last until Wednesday. Xi will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss “aspects of further development of comprehensive partnership,” according to a statement from the Kremlin.
There will also be a discussion of the international agenda and cooperation between the two nations in world affairs, the Kremlin added. Russian and Chinese officials are expected to sign a number of bilateral agreements.
Putin invited Xi to Russia during a phone call in late December, but the date of the trip was not previously announced. This visit is expected to be significant while it has been closely monitored by west after Moscow launched its military operation in Ukraine in early 2022.
