Putin hails ties with China as Kim Jong-un arrives in Beijing on eve of parade | China
Vladimir Putin came to Beijing on the eve of a large military parade, aiming to exhibit a global order-led global order, including North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
Putin called China’s leader Xi Jinping, a “dear friend ,, after his meetings in the Grand Hall of the People’s Grand Hall and then on Xi’s personal residence. According to a video on the Telegram channel of the Kremlin, Putin told Xi, “Our close communication reflects the strategic nature of Russia-China relations, which are unprecedented,”. “Then we’ve always been together and now we’re staying together.”
Putin, described by XI as a “ex -friend ında on Tuesday, is the most prominent of an autocratic staff gathered in China for two pairs of activity bills designed to reflect the world’s second largest economy in China this week to the USA.
Hours after Putin-Xi talks, Kim came to China with an armored train accompanied by Kim Ju-Ae, who made his international exit for years in home events and was considered the greatest successor of his father by South Korean intelligence.
A Kremlin assistant told the Russian Interfax news agency that Putin would interview with who will meet with Wednesday.
At the Victory Day parade on Wednesday, thousands of troops go for a walk on the streets of the capital in a demonstration of Chinese military power. In the Second World War, tanks and strong fighter aircraft will be exhibited for 80 years since the defeat of Japan.
The gathering of global autocrats-Iranian, Myanmar and Zimbabve will also be found, together with a series of non-Western dignity-by-Analysts.
Putin also met Slovakia’s Moscow -friendly Prime Minister Robert Fico, the only EU leader, whom he praised for his country’s “independent” position. Fico has repeatedly criticized Kiev and stopped the European Union sanctions against Moscow and risks Slovakia’s energy security. Putin claimed that Bratislava had cut gas materials in Ukraine. “Ukraine receives a significant amount of energy sources through its neighbors in Eastern Europe. Turn off the gas materials going on,” FICO said.
In Ukraine, Putin said that Ukraine has never opposed the potential membership of the European Union. “As for Ukraine’s EU membership, we never object to it… As for NATO, this is another issue.” The Russian President also said that he had no intention of attacking Europe.
Putin’s comments on the Russian-China relationship came because the two countries have signed an agreement that would sharpen the imports of Beijing’s Russian gas in the next 30 years. Putin and Xi agreed to build the power of the Siberian 2 gas pipeline, which will allow 50 billion cubic meters of gas to China every year.
China’s Russian energy purchases and exploding bilateral trade between the two countries have been an economic life line for Moscow since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
The pipeline will pass through Mongolia. Like Putin, the president of Mongolia, he was in China for the Annual Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin on Sunday and Monday.
Xi said on Tuesday: “The more chaotic the international situation becomes chaotic, the more China, Russia and Mongolia strengthen solidarity and cooperation.”
The Chinese state media said that on Tuesday, Putin and Xi signed more than 20 bilateral cooperation certificates during their talks in Beijing. China also announced that from September 15 to Russian passport holders will expand their visa -free travel privileges.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the SCO summit with a sign that China-Indian relations were resolved after the implementation of heavy US tariffs on Indian exports.
Since 2019, Kim came to Beijing for a parade on a private armored train on a private armored train. For the first time since 1959, a North Korean leader was the first to participate in an international event on this scale.
Kim’s trip comes after a period of deepening the ties between Russia and North Korea, sending tens of thousands of soldiers to fight for Russia during the war in Ukraine.
According to the South Korean Intelligence Agency, who believes that Pyongyang is planning another deployment, about 600 North Korean soldiers were killed for Russia in the Kursk region.
Speaking at the SCO Summit on Monday, XI proposed a series of “global governance initiatives in China to reshape the world order according to the principles preferred by Beijing.
