Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded his visit to China, highlighting the strategic ties between the two countries and their efforts to provide an alternative to U.S. global influence. During his visit, Putin praised the growth in bilateral trade and commended his talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping as “substantive.”
He emphasized that the partnership between China and Russia is not aimed at any specific country but rather focused on improving the well-being of their respective populations. While Putin avoided direct confrontation with the U.S., he subtly rebuked those opposing the Moscow-Beijing relationship, asserting that an “emerging multipolar world” is underway and urging natural progression in global decision-making processes.
