Putin to Visit China on May 20, Kremlin Confirms

Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing for a visit to China, as confirmed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov. The arrangements for the visit have been completed with mutual approval, according to a report from the Russian state media outlet TASS.

The visit is tentatively scheduled for May 20. However, the Chinese foreign ministry has declined to confirm this date.

This upcoming visit follows U.S. President Donald Trump's recent multi-day state visit to Beijing.

Putin's last visit to Beijing occurred last year when he attended a military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. The details of the visit indicate a continued effort to strengthen ties between Russia and China amid global geopolitical dynamics.
