Putin, Xi to meet in Uzbekistan
Kathmandu, September 7. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping will be meeting at a summit next week in Uzbekistan, a Russian official announced Wednesday.
According to Russian Ambassador to China Andrei Denisov, the two leaders will meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit on September 15-16. Denisov said, “Less than 10 days from now another meeting of our leaders will take place at the SCO summit in Samarkand. We are actively preparing for it.”
Putin and Xi last met in Beijing in February, weeks before the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine.
Putin has stated that the possibility of a military alliance can’t be ruled out, despite Moscow and Beijing having previously rejected the idea. He also mentioned that China has received highly sensitive military technologies from Russia, which helped improve China’s defense capabilities.
