President Vladimir Putin arrived in China early Thursday for the Russian leader’s first foreign visit since beginning another term in office earlier this month.
Recent reporting suggests discussions over the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war will take place when Putin meets with his counterpart Chinese President Xi Jinping before touring the Asian country. China released a 12-point peace plan to end the conflict last year, identifying eastward NATO expansion as the origin of the conflict. Beijing has stressed the importance of addressing Moscow’s security concerns in any peace settlement, criticizing Western efforts that exclude Russian participation.
Putin has praised “the genuine desire of our Chinese friends to help stabilize the situation,” endorsing Beijing’s view of the roots of the war.
