“There's a change going on now that hasn't happened in 100 years. And we are moving that change together” – these were the words with which Xi Jinping bid farewell to Vladimir Putin after the second
meeting of his landmark visit to Moscow.
The world's attention was on Moscow when the Chinese President paid a three-day state
visit – the highest in the gradation of foreign trips - to Moscow on 20 March. The Russian Federation was the first country the Chinese leader has visited since his March 10 re-election to a third term by the National People's Congress. Upon his arrival, Xi Jinping said that China is ready to cooperate with Russia „to support true multilateralism, promote multipolarity in the world, democratise international relations and promote global governance on a more just and rational track”.
According to Xi, China-Russia relations go far beyond the bilateral scope and are crucial to the world and the future of mankind.
