Russian President Vladimir Putin will make a two-day state visit to China this week, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Tuesday, in the latest show of unity between the two authoritarian allies against the U.S.-led Western liberal global order.
The cooperation of Russia and China plays “a vital balancing role in world affairs”, Russian acting Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
He made the comments at a session of the Federation Council in Moscow ahead of voting on the appointment of new government ministers.
“I am confident that the upcoming visit of the Russian President to the People's Republic of China will strengthen our joint work,” Lavrov said.
