Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit Russia in 2025, according to the Russian ambassador to Beijing.
“As for specific bilateral events, I can say that the necessary plans are being actively developed,” said Igor Morgulov in an interview with RIA news agency.
“What can be said, which is not a secret, regarding priority is that the President of the People’s Republic of China is expected in Russia next year,” he added.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not confirmed this.
President Xi was in Russia in October for the BRICS summit, a group of nine countries including Russia and China.
Putin visited China in February 2022, just days before invading Ukraine, declaring a “no-limits” partnership.
He was in Beijing again in May of this year, where he welcomed a “new era” of relations focused on opposing U.S. policies.
