China's Xi to visit Moscow next week in apparent show of support for Putin
BEIJING — China says President Xi Jinping will visit Russia from Monday to Wednesday in an apparent show of support for Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin on Friday also announced the visit, saying it will take place “at the invitation of Vladimir Putin.” Putin invited Xi to visit Russia during a video conference call the two held in late December. The visit, Putin said, could “demonstrate to the whole world the strength of the Russian-Chinese ties” and “become the main political event of the year in bilateral relations.”
Qin Gang told Dmytro Kuleba that China has “always upheld an objective and fair stance on the Ukraine issue, has committed itself to promoting peace and advancing negotiations and calls on the international community to create conditions for peace talks,” China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement posted on its website.
