MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing for talks on Wednesday, the Kremlin said. The talks will take place on the sidelines of a forum marking a decade of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the Kremlin said on Monday. “During the talks, special attention will be paid to international and regional issues,” it said.
Meanwhile, Putin said in an interview on Monday that the Brics nations have overtaken G7 states in terms of the purchasing power parity of their populations. He said that the Brics expansion will prove beneficial to the group, which has historically positioned itself as an alternative to Western-dominated international institutions, RT reported.
