Visiting at the invitation of President Xi Jinping, President Putin's stay from May 19 to 20 marks his 25th visit to the country, underscoring the deep-rooted and enduring nature of the relationship between Moscow and Beijing.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the two leaders are set to exchange views on a wide array of bilateral relations and cooperation across various fields.
