On Tuesday (September 2), Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing and praised relations between the two countries as at an unprecedented level. The interviews came on the eve of a massive military parade, which described the 80s. The anniversary of the end of World War II.
“Our narrow communication reflects the strategic nature of Russian-Chinese ties that are currently on an unprecedented level,” Putin said. He added, “We were always together and now we are together.”
XI praises the resistance of partnership
XI replied to Putin that relations in China-Rusk “lasted an international change”. He promised Beijing’s readiness to deepen cooperation with Moscow to “support the construction of a fairer and reasonable system of global administration”.
Both leaders last met in May, when XI traveled to Moscow to the Russian celebrations of victory. Their frequent exchanges underline the strength of the “partnership without restriction” announced in February 2022 shortly before Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine.
SCO summit and western criticism
Putin also joined the XI in the Summit organization for cooperation in Shanghai (SCO) in Tianjin on Monday. The forum linked the closest allies of China in times of increased global tension.
On Monday, XI criticized “bullying behavior” from unnamed countries – a thinly covered reference to the United States – while Putin defended the Russian offensive in Ukraine and blamed the West of calling the conflict.
North Korea joins
The show will also serve as a rare diplomatic phase for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who is expected to meet Putin and XI during his first visit to China since 2019.
Kim is likely to attend a gala performance and organizes lateral interviews.
The soul spy agency also said that approximately 2,000 North Korean troops were killed in the fight against Russian forces in Ukraine.
Beijing’s equalizing act
While Beijing has never condemned the Russian invasion or required to withdraw, he claims to be a neutral actor. Western allies are still concerned that Beijing quietly supported Moscow, while Pyongyang openly declared his support for Russia.
Global attention at the show
The Wednesday military parade is expected to draw about two dozen world leaders. For the XI, this event offers a high -ranking opportunity to demonstrate Chinese power and its expanding circle of partners, although global tension is growing.
