BEIJING - Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday invited his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to visit China, saying it “fits historical logic” for the two countries to draw close.
President Putin also offered in televised remarks to help Chinese businesses replace Western companies that have left Russia because of the Ukraine war. The two leaders also discussed a proposed pipeline that would increase Russia’s gas exports to China. The paper, released in February on the first anniversary of the Ukraine war, contained broad principles such as the need for peace talks and a respect for sovereignty, but no specific proposals on how to end the war.
Chinese state media have played up the Chinese leader’s first overseas visit since he was re-elected state president for a third term earlier this month, hailing it as “adopting a new vision, a new blueprint and new measures for the growth of China-Russia relations in the years to come”. Japanese broadcaster NHK showed footage of Mr Kishida – who was in India merely a day ago –boarding a train in the Polish border town of Przemysl.
