Xi Set To Meet With Putin In Moscow Next Week

Chinese President Xi Jinping will pay an official visit to Moscow from March 20 to March 22 as Beijing looks to show support for Russian President Vladimir Putin while also pushing forward a peace plan aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine.

"During the talks, topical issues of further development of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation between Russia and China will be discussed," the Kremlin said in a statement on March 17.

"An exchange of views is also planned in the context of deepening Russian-Chinese cooperation in the international arena," it added.

The visit comes after Putin recently invited the Chinese leader to come to the Russian capital.

Last month, China unveiled a peace plan for the Ukraine conflict that echoes Russian talking points, including blaming the West for the unprovoked invasion. The Chinese plan called for a cease-fire and peace talks among other provisions.

The West has dismissed the Chinese proposal, but Moscow welcomed it.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry in Beijing also confirmed the trip, saying that Xi and Putin will discuss major international and regional issues during the visit.

Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told a news briefing that the visit aims at further strengthening the trust between the two powers.

Shortly before the start of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Xi and Putin issued a common declaration in Beijing last February as the Russian leader was attending the Winter Olympics.

In the declaration, the two leaders said the "friendship between the two states has no limits, there are no 'forbidden' areas of cooperation."

China has since refused to condemn Russia's war in Ukraine and criticized the sanctions imposed by the West on Moscow.

Western allies have accused China of mulling supplying weapons to Russia, and warned Beijing not to do so.
