Beijing, China – Russian President Vladimir Putin commenced a two-day official visit to China on Tuesday. During this visit, he will engage in extensive discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This meeting occurs amid unprecedented rapprochement between the two nations and increasing international tensions.
Accompanying President Putin is a large delegation that encompasses ministers, economic officials, and leaders from major Russian energy companies. This representation underscores Moscow’s commitment to deepening its ties with Beijing. The visit is particularly significant, as it comes in response to Western sanctions imposed on Russia due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced economic cooperation between the two countries.
The two leaders are scheduled to hold formal talks on Wednesday, addressing several critical topics, including:
President Putin emphasized that the relationship between Russia and China has reached an “unprecedented level.” He clarified that this partnership does not target any third party but aims to support stability and promote global peace. These statements reflect a strong vision for bilateral cooperation in the face of global challenges.
Energy issues are a key priority in discussions, particularly the “Power of Siberia 2” gas pipeline project, which aims to expand Russian gas exports to China. Additionally, Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s foreign affairs advisor, revealed that Russian oil exports to China surged by 35% in the first quarter of 2026, further underscoring the energy collaboration between the two nations.
This visit also coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Good Neighbor Treaty between Russia and China, showcasing the depth of their historical relations and ongoing collaboration.
