Sergei Lavrov will make an official visit Monday and Tuesday to China. The two leaders "will discuss a wide range of issues relating to bilateral cooperation, as well as cooperation in the international arena" Since the outbreak of the Russian assault on Ukraine in February 2022, relations between Moscow and Beijing have greatly strengthened.
In March 2023, Xi Jinping visited Moscow under the auspices of the Kremlin, reaffirming with Vladimir Putin “a limitless friendship” between their two countries, which denounce Western hegemony on the international scene.
