Russian President Vladimir Putin has welcomed Chinese leader Xi Jinping to the Kremlin.
China portrays Xi's visit as part of normal diplomatic exchanges and has offered little detail about what the trip aims to accomplish, though the nearly 13 months of war in Ukraine cast a long shadow on the talks.
Beijing's leap into Ukraine issues follows its recent success in brokering talks between Iran and its chief Middle Eastern rival, Saudi Arabia, which agreed to restore their diplomatic ties after years of tensions."President Xi will have an in-depth exchange of views with President Putin on bilateral relations and major international and regional issues of common concern," Wang said.
China last month called for a cease-fire and peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cautiously welcomed Beijing's involvement, but the overture fizzled.Washington strongly rejected Beijing's call for a cease-fire as the effective ratification of the Kremlin's battlefield gains.
