The conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping was very frank and constructive, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.
"The sides discussed specific issues very frankly, in a businesslike manner, constructively," Peskov said when asked how the talks between the leaders of Russia and China had gone.
The Kremlin spokesman specified that Putin and Xi Jinping also discussed "issues of bilateral relations as a follow-up to the issues touched upon during Putin's recent visit to China." "After that (Putin's visit - TASS), in fact, there was an exchange of delegations. There were high-ranking representatives from Moscow in Beijing, and the Chinese came here, so a lot was done," Peskov added.
"The sides exchanged views on Ukraine and the international situation in general. Once again, they noted a significant convergence of positions and approaches with regard to what is happening in the world," Peskov highlighted.
The Kremlin spokesman also said that during the conversation, Putin and his Chinese counterpart outlined "the main parameters of further contacts, the continuation of dialogue" in the spirit of a privileged strategic partnership. "They have all the conditions for development," Peskov emphasized.
