Russian President Vladimir Putin and China’s head of state and party leader Xi Jinping continue their talks in Moscow on Tuesday. After starting on Monday with a one-to-one meeting on the war in Ukraine, the main day of the three-day visit will focus on negotiations with government delegations. Above all, it is about economic cooperation.
According to information from the Kremlin, the signing of two major agreements to expand an “all-encompassing partnership” and “strategic cooperation” is planned. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu will also attend the meeting. According to the Kremlin, questions of military-technical cooperation are also on the agenda.
