Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping on Tuesday, paving the way for a meeting between the top Communist Party leader and Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and arriving in between expected visits from American officials Janet Yellen and Antony Blinken.
Xi celebrated relations between Beijing and Moscow as being at their peak as the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations approaches. Russia n officials stated that Lavrov’s visit was in part to prepare for Putin to visit China soon as well as meet with Xi at multiple international events such as the BRICS summit expected in October.
As Lavrov arrived on Monday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry offered few details on what he would be discussing. Mao defended China’s friendship with Russia, particularly in the context of Biden administration complaints that Beijing is supportive of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, potentially offering both commercial and military backing.
The Kremlin confirmed that Lavrov’s visit would precede in-person meetings between Xi and Putin in the near future.
