The two leaders agreed in May to deepen bilateral relations and cooperate on issues of common interest such as Taiwan, Ukraine and mutual rival the United States.
Russia’s state news agency RIA also quoted Russia’s ambassador to Beijing as saying last Friday that Xi would visit Russia in 2025.
Exchanging New Year greetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Xi praised the mutual trust and strategic coordination between the two countries and expressed his desire to maintain close ties with Putin.
China-Russia cooperation in various fields will continue to lead to new development opportunities, Xi added. The Chinese president was received in the Kremlin as a “dear friend” in 2023 after securing an unprecedented third term as head of state.
