Russian President Vladimir Putin to Visit China for High-Level Meetings and Events

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit China from August 31 to September 3, 2025. This visit will mark a significant moment in the bilateral relations between the two nations, with a trilateral meeting scheduled with the leaders of Mongolia and China.

During his stay in Beijing, Putin is expected to hold separate talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, as well as participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit. The SCO summit is likely to witness the establishment of a universal center for countering security challenges and an anti-narcotics center.

The trilateral meeting with the leaders of Mongolia and China is expected to take place during Putin's visit to Beijing. Around 20 documents are anticipated to be signed during this visit, although the specific details are yet to be disclosed.

Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign affairs advisor, has mentioned that the Russian President will also have bilateral meetings with the leaders of Pakistan and Serbia in Beijing. In addition to these meetings, Putin will hold talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 1 to discuss Putin's upcoming visit to India in December.

On the same day, Putin will meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to discuss Ukrainian and Middle Eastern issues. The visit will also include Putin's attendance at a parade and celebrations in Beijing commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Chinese people's victory in the war against Japanese aggression and the end of World War II.

However, no special arrangements have been made yet for a meeting between Putin and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, although "anything is possible."

It is important to note that Putin is the current President of Russia. The details of the discussions and agreements made during this visit are expected to shape the future of the relationships between these nations and their roles in the global arena.
