Xi’s visit to Russia may offer new prospects for Russian-Chinese cooperation

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Russia, set to take place on June 5-7, may offer new prospects for political and economic cooperation between the two countries amid Washington’s aggressive policies towards Moscow and Beijing, ONA reports citing TASS.

According to Chief Research Fellow at the Center for Russian-Chinese Relations Studies and Forecasting of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Far Eastern Studies Vladimir Petrovksy, relations between Moscow and Beijing have reached a high level.

"President Xi Jinping’s upcoming state visit to Moscow and St. Petersburg offers a very good opportunity to assess the history and the current state of Russian-Chinese relations, as well as their future," the expert said. "In particular, it offers an opportunity to look into the development of relations between the Soviet Union and China, and between Russia and China, from the historical standpoint, and think about what we have achieved and where we will go next," Petrovksy added.
