President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed their commitment to deepening strategic collaboration during high-level talks at Moscow's Kremlin this week. The meeting, held over tea ahead of World War II commemorations, spotlighted both leaders' shared vision for reshaping global governance amid what Xi described as "a new period of turbulent transformation."
"As long as China and Russia maintain strategic resolve and coordination, no force can stop the trend toward multipolarity or hinder our legitimate development rights," Xi stated, emphasizing the necessity of countering unilateralism through strengthened bilateral ties.
Putin welcomed Beijing's approach to international diplomacy, stating Russia is "ready to maintain close communication and provide strategic guidance for bilateral relations." Both leaders underscored the importance of pursuing economic globalization reforms and fostering "a just, democratic international order."
On the Ukraine crisis, Xi reiterated China's position advocating comprehensive security solutions that address all parties' concerns. "We support dialogue leading to a binding peace agreement accepted by all," he said. Putin acknowledged China's impartial stance and expressed openness to unconditional peace talks, signaling potential diplomatic pathways forward.
The discussions signal a concerted push by both nations to shape geopolitical narratives ahead of major international forums, with joint initiatives on global governance reform expected to dominate future dialogues.
