Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit China from May 19 to 20 for talks with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, the Kremlin announced on Saturday.
International media, citing a Kremlin statement, reported that the visit will take place at the invitation of Xi Jinping.
The Kremlin said the trip coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship and Cooperation between Russia and China.
According to the statement, Putin and Xi are expected to discuss bilateral relations, the expansion of cooperation, as well as major regional and international issues.
