Russian President Vladimir Putin will pay an official two-day visit to China on May 19-20, where he is expected to meet with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. The news was announced by the Kremlin, which stressed that the visit will take place at the invitation of the Chinese president.
During the meetings, the two leaders will discuss deepening cooperation between Moscow and Beijing in key areas such as economics, politics and strategic security. At the end of the talks, the parties are also expected to sign several cooperation agreements.
Putin's visit to Beijing comes at a sensitive moment for the international arena, as major powers are increasing diplomatic and economic contacts.
Just a few days ago, US President Donald Trump paid a visit to China, where he declared that he had reached "major economic agreements."
The meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping is seen as another signal of strong rapprochement between Russia and China, relations that have been significantly consolidated in several strategic sectors in recent years.
