Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet again.
It has been seven months since the meeting on the opening day of the last Beijing Winter Olympics, and it is the first time since the war in Ukraine.
Both leaders openly supported the other side's position on the Taiwan issue and the Ukraine war from the beginning of their speech.
Putin said he firmly adheres to the one-China principle.
Last month, it seems that the US and European key figures, including US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, visited Taiwan one after another, and the US arms sales to Taiwan were in mind.
Xi said he wants both China and Russia to play a leading role in the world.
[Xi Jinping/President of China: I hope that China and Russia can work together to show responsibility as a great power and play a leading
role in stabilizing the turbulent world.]
It is said that they wanted to strongly support each other on the issues at stake.
Banmirah expressed its will to strengthen strategic cooperation based on consensus.
However, no separate joint statement was issued after the meeting, and there were also signs of trying to control the level of criticism, such as omitting US-related remarks in China's official announcement.
