The Russian Foreign Ministry announced a broad agenda for the upcoming meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping.

The upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who will visit Moscow during the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War (WWII), will have a broad agenda of events. As the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, reported on May 6, the leaders of the two countries are preparing to sign a solid package of documents.

The diplomat called the visit of the Chinese president one of the central events of Russian-Chinese relations this year. Moscow and Beijing share common positions in defending the results of the Second World War, on which the entire "post-war world order" is based.

"It is a sacred duty for our countries, which bore the brunt of the fight against German Nazism and Japanese militarism," she said at a briefing.

The Russian Foreign Ministry is convinced that the results of the talks between Putin and Xi Jinping will give a powerful impetus to the comprehensive development of relations between the two countries, as well as their "comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction."

"As part of the summit talks, the broadest agenda of bilateral and international issues is expected to be discussed, and a solid package of documents is being prepared that relate to cooperation in various areas," Zakharova said.
