Putin arrives in China on an official visit

Russian President Vladimir Putin paid an official visit to China on May 19.

The Head of state went to China on a two-day visit at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping. This trip is timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty on Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation, which is fundamental for bilateral relations.

The Russian President will hold Russian-Chinese talks in a narrow and broad format, and together with Xi Jinping will discuss the most pressing global issues over tea. In addition, Putin is expected to have other meetings, including a conversation with Chairman of the State Council of the People's Republic of China Li Qiang on trade and economic issues.

Who else went to China with the president, and is this rather short trip related to Trump's recent visit to China?

Presidential Adviser Yuri Ushakov reported on May 18 that Putin would be accompanied by five Russian deputy prime ministers, eight ministers, representatives of the presidential administration and big business during his visit to China.
