Putin and Xi, the president of China, are very close allies in what they call a “limitless” alliance. They also talked on the side about Putin’s recent meeting with Donald Trump, according to a Kremlin official.
Xi received numerous leaders in person, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Alexander Lukashenko, the President of Belarus. After that, the delegations went to a formal reception.
Xi added that if both sides saw each other as partners, their relationship might be “stable and far-reaching.” He said, “China and India are partners in cooperation, not enemies.”
Russia’s claims on Ukraine following its invasion in 2022 and China’s claims on Taiwan and worries that it may invade have made both countries cut off from Western and other democracies.
Iran, India, and Pakistan are all members of the SCO, which is a group of ten countries in Eurasia. The leaders of 16 “dialogue partner” or “observer” countries are also at the meeting.
All of them, like Xi and Putin, have been accused of limiting free speech and political representation in their own nations.
