Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a sign of mutual support amid Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and shared opposition to Western democracies led by the U.S.
In this photo released by Russian Foreign Ministry Press Service on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov , left, and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi shake hands prior to their talks in Beijing, China. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is visiting Beijing to display the strength of ties with close diplomatic partner China amid Moscow's grinding war against Ukraine.
Lavrov held a news conference earlier Tuesday with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi at which they reaffirmed solidarity in international affairs. Zelensky has called for the withdrawal of Russian forces and the return of all occupied Ukrainian territory, but is heavily reliant on support from the U.S., where the Republican Party majority in the House of Representatives has been holding up a new military aid package.
At their joint news conference Wang repeated China's calls for a ceasefire and “an end to the war soon.” Wang also said Xi and Putin would continue to maintain close exchanges this year amid expectations of visits to each other's capitals.
