Russia says Putin will travel to China in August
The Kremlin has announced that Russian president Vladimir Putin will travel to China at the end of August, reciprocating Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s visit to Russia this week.
Mr Putin’s foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov told reporters that the visit will be part of a “good tradition,” in which Mr Xi visits Moscow to attend celebrations of Russia’s defeat over Nazi Germany in May 1945, and Mr Putin travels to China to attend events marking the Allied defeat of Japan.
