Xi Jinping, the president of China, may visit Russia as soon as next week to meet with Vladimir Putin, according to people with information of the situation.
China has offered to mediate a settlement in Ukraine, a move that has been met with skepticism in the West due to China’s diplomatic support for Russia. At the time the visit is being arranged, China has made the offer.
According to a report from the Russian news service Tass on January 30, Putin had asked Xi to visit Russia in the spring. The Wall Street Journal stated in the previous month that a trip to Moscow might take place in early April or late April.
Requests for comment on the prospect of Xi visiting Moscow went unanswered right away by the Chinese foreign ministry, and the Kremlin refused to respond.
Other information wasn’t readily available.
Given how delicate the subject is, the individuals who provided the briefing chose not to be named.
A “no limits” alliance between China and Russia was established in February 2022, just weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine. Since then, the two countries have repeatedly reaffirmed the strength of their relationship.
