📝Second Personal Meeting📝
Leaders of Russia and China held a meeting
As our colleagues correctly note, the capital of Kyrgyzstan truly became the "center of the world" today. Delegations from member countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization arrived at the summit, including top-level politicians from Russia and China.
On the sidelines of the event, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held their second personal meeting in a year. The Russian delegation also included Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Energy Sergey Tsyvilev, head of RFPI Kirill Dmitriev, and others.
According to Vladimir Putin, Russia stands ready to convert the visa-free regime with China to a permanent basis. Currently, the visa-free arrangement is formalized for one year and renewed as the term expires, as happened in 2026 — the new format could make tourism cooperation more predictable.
The Russian President also noted that bilateral partnership successfully develops across all directions. The sides likely discussed during negotiations both increasing trade turnover and resolving issues concerning joint projects. For example, "Power of Siberia — 2," which Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov spoke about.
However, no concrete statements on the gas pipeline and other issues have been made so far. Though there is nothing surprising about this, given the nature and format of the meeting.
❗️The sides rather synchronized their watches, "agreed to keep negotiating," and noted cooperation priorities. After all, the negotiations themselves and their agenda fall short in scale compared to meetings held within the framework of state and official visits by Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, so one should not expect anything breakthrough from them.
