Details: First, Putin spoke at the third international Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) forum and then talks with the Chinese leader began.

Dmitrii Peskov, spokesman for the Russian president, told TASS that Putin and Xi had continued holding talks within a small group, followed by a one-on-one meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, Putin stated that under current conditions, close foreign policy coordination is required, and that is how Russia and China are building cooperation.

He added that according to year-on-year calculations, there is already a threshold of $200 billion in trade turnover, and this indicator will definitely be exceeded in the calendar year.

Xi Jinping stated that the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China are steadily deepening political mutual trust and maintaining close strategic interaction. He also said that the leaders of Russia and China have established warm business relations and strong personal friendship.

As Russian propagandists conveyed Xi’s words, Beijing is ready to work with Russia “to protect international justice.”
