Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in China on Tuesday to meet his"dear friend" Xi Jinping and bolster their relationship at a summit that will be overshadowed by the Israel-Hamas war.
"During the talks, special attention will be paid to international and regional issues," the Kremlin said in a statement, without elaborating. No details have been given about where or when exactly Zhai would travel, though China's state broadcaster CCTV has said he will push for a ceasefire and peace talks.
Beijing has drawn criticism from Western countries for its stance on the Ukraine war, on which China insists it is neutral even as it refuses to criticise Moscow for launching its invasion.
