“Russian-Chinese relations are at an unprecedented level, show positive dynamics and contribute to global stability,” Putin said, according to the Russian state agency Tass, and invited the Chinese leader to visit Russia next year.
According to Xi Jinping, relations between Russia and China are unshakable. “China and Russia should advocate for the creation of a fairer and more reasonable system of global governance,” the Chinese president pointed out, saying that the world is threatened by the rule of the law of the jungle.
He also mentioned the American-Israeli conflict with Iran and called for its quick end. “The complete cessation of war cannot be delayed, the resumption of fighting is even less desirable, and the continuation of negotiations is particularly important,” he added, according to CNN Si.
The Chinese president welcomed his Russian counterpart at the main seat of power, the Palace of the People, in the center of Beijing. Together they watched the parade of the military guard, greeted the waving children and heard the artillery salvo.
The BBC server pointed out that the welcome of the Russian president was strikingly similar to the one with which he also honored Donald Trump last week. China is supposed to indicate that Xi is a person with whom world leaders want to meet.
