"Our talks were in-depth, friendly and productive," said spokesperson Lin Jian in Moscow, highlighting the leaders' exchange of views on trade, energy, and global governance.
The trip marks Xi's 11th visit to Russia\u00151 the most frequent trip to any nation since he took office. It also saw him join celebrations in Moscow commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War, underscoring the longstanding ties between the two countries.
Why It Matters
