Focus will be on many issues
This visit is being considered very special, because this is Putin’s first foreign visit after becoming President for the fifth time. And diplomatic relations between the two countries are completing 75 years. Russia would like to further strengthen its strategic partnership with China, given the situation of isolation in the West. Putin’s visit to Beijing in October was for the summit of the Belt and Road Initiative, a project aimed at connecting Asia with Africa and Europe by land and sea. It is widely seen as Xi Jinping’s pet project. Let us tell you that after the Ukraine war, America had imposed many sanctions on Russia, however, Russia also got support from many countries. China also presented Russia’s side in a subdued tone. Therefore this journey is being considered very important.
