BEIJING : President Vladimir Putin on Wednesda (Oct 18) praised Chinese President Xi Jinping for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and invited global investment in the Northern Sea route which he said could deepen trade between east and west.

Speaking on his second known trip outside the former Soviet Union since the Ukraine war, Putin thanked the Chinese leader for his invitation and said Russia could play a key role in China's modern day revival of the ancient Silk Road.

Putin called Xi his "dear friend" and heaped praise on the Belt and Road Initiative for bringing the world together.

Shortly before Putin starting speaking, a handful of European delegates, including former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, walked out of the room, a Reuters witness said.

"Russia and China, like most countries of the world, share the desire for equal, mutually beneficial cooperation in order to achieve universal sustainable and long-term economic progress and social well-being, while respecting the diversity of civilization and the right of each State to its own development model," Putin said.

Putin said the BRI fitted with Russia which he said was developing a host of transport infrastructure to criss-cross the world's biggest country, notably from the Northern Sea Route which runs from Murmansk near Russia's border with Norway eastwards to the Bering Strait near Alaska

"As for the Northern Sea Route, Russia does not just offer its partners to actively use its transit potential, I will say more: we invite interested states to participate directly in its development, and we are ready to provide reliable ice breaker navigation, communication and supply," Putin said.

"Starting next year, navigation for ice-class cargo ships along the entire length of the Northern Sea Route will become year-round."

Putin, who has attended previous BRI summits, brought a senior delegation from Moscow.

Among the senior Russian officials were Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who is due to visit North Korea shortly, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, his top oil and gas point man, and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Also included were Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin economic aide Maxim Oreshkin, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov, Economy Minister Maxim Reshetnikov and Igor Morgulov, Russia's ambassador to China.

China will continue to reform and open up, welcoming to foreign investors and work for world peace. But 2050 when China is number one, China is still China and will not be America. And China don't depend on just Xi jinping. China will be China with or without Xi jinping. But Russia is changeable and depends on who is the president.

The present Russia is the best China can hope for

Nothing to hope for other than being number 1 for Xi. How can let Russia (Pudin) to sit on top of China all the times! Russia become number 2 and kowtow to China.

qqq47660

The same values that China Russia shares....old civilisations, prefers socialism to too much capitalism, both value and honour history and customs, both prefer unity to divisions and fights , Russians and Chinese get along very well, mutual respects, win win.....both Russia and China see themselves as victims of western imperialism, both can identify themselves with the struggles of the global south. Both values peace , unity, prosperity, cultural identity, harmonious living with many many tribes within its borders....

If u look at China and Europe. China spend a lot of effort to keep itself united. So does Russia. Europe on the other hand prefers to divide itself into dozens of countries based tribes.

both Putin and Xi sees the world with the same lens. Both are in agreement what is happening in the world and what needs to be done., Both are brothers and twins.

but Xi Jinping is more lucky than Putin.

because China is united and China is fully behind Xi Jinping. And even without Xi Jinping, China will continue on same path without missing a beat.

Whereas Russia is more unstable. Nobody knows what is Russia without Putin, what becomes of it and what direction it will take is anybody's guess.

Ultimately what a dictator need is ' bow to me'. The rest is nonsense.

If u look at China and Europe. China spend a lot of effort to keep itself united. So does Russia. Europe on the other hand prefers to divide itself into dozens of countries based tribes.

and there lies one of the fundamental differences. Unity means u need strong central controls, u don't want so much politiking, fights, debates, u win I lose, fake news, false debates, gangs, political parties, divisions, . What u want is strength in unity, divided will fall.

Xi Jinping wants the party to be in full control. Xi has seen the chaos of the cultural revolution and do not want that to repeat in China.

Xi get offended when u call him a dictator.

Xi sees himself as a Chinese emperor............A Chinese emperor whom generations later will still see him as one of the great emperors of China that people love and respect and pray to. Xi is an ambitous man with extra ordinary vision and has done great things for China ...and hopes to do more for china so that his name will forever go down in Chinese history as one of the greatest China ever had.

Xi Jinping is driven by his vision and his ambition. And the CPC has agreed to give him the power. and everybody is driven by love of China by patriotism.

dictator is a western term. It suggest a strong man but one with shallow vision, who only think of himself.

Xi jinping prefers the term Chinese emperor. A Chinese emperor who generations later people still prays to in temples, given a temple name ..... that people remembers as an emperor who has dedicated his life and done lots of good for the people, for the country

during the recent Asian Games in Hangzhou, the Assad couple are the most popular visitors. They lit up the China internet on fire. Treated like rock stars.

China always like to support the underdogs. Obama want to kill Assad. But Assad still here, Obama long gone. China like those who over come american sanctions, over come difficulties and emerge victorious. Assad has those qualities and therefore very popular in China. Having a beautiful wife who speaks broken Chinese helps too.

CCP betrayed Russia in 80's, there is no true friendship amongst evil alliance, there is no surprise that CCP betray its Russia dad again amid good offer from America. CCP betrayed Chinese by giving away ancient Chinese inseparated lands
