More than forty documents were signed following Vladimir Putin's state visit to China

Russian President Vladimir Putin's two-day state visit to the People's Republic of China has concluded, as reported by Zamin.uz.

After successfully completing high-level talks in Beijing, the Russian leader departed for Moscow. During the visit, a total of forty-two important documents were signed between the two countries.

Among them, the most significant is the joint statement on deepening the comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation, aimed at elevating bilateral relations to a new level. According to news agencies, the most dynamic part of the state visit program coincided with May 20.

This historic day began in Tiananmen Square with a solemn ceremony of laying wreaths at the monument to the Russian leader. Following this, official negotiations commenced between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.

The discussions initially took place in a narrow format, focusing on sensitive issues, then continued in an expanded format with the participation of official delegations, lasting nearly three hours. During the meeting, Putin addressed Xi Jinping in a warm tone, calling him "my dear friend," and quoted a well-known Chinese saying emphasizing closeness.

He stressed that not seeing each other for one day feels as long as three autumns have passed. Moscow's serious preparation for this visit was evident not only in the scale but also in the composition of its delegation to Beijing.

Accompanying the president were five deputy prime ministers, eight ministers, the head of the Central Bank, and leaders of major state corporations and regions. Among them were government and finance officials, including Denis Manturov, Sergey Lavrov, Anton Siluanov, and Elvira Nabiullina.

Additionally, the heads of Russia's largest companies—Alexey Miller, Igor Sechin, German Gref, and Andrey Kostin—participated in the talks. One of the key outcomes of the summit was the adoption of a joint declaration on forming a multipolar world and a new type of international relations.

Furthermore, it was decided to extend the duration of the historic Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation, signed twenty-five years ago this year. In his speech, Putin noted that over the past quarter-century, the volume of mutual trade between the two neighboring countries has increased more than thirtyfold and has been developing dynamically for several years.

Experts acknowledge that this visit holds significant importance not only for the two countries but also for the economic development and security of the entire region.
