Talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, due to take place during the Chinese leader’s visit to Moscow, could be a world-transforming event. This was written by the leading Australian The Australian newspaper.
However, the authors of the publication also express the opinion that in this case, any peace plan that emerged from these negotiations will be “largely focused on the position of Russia.”
“The meeting of the leaders of the two countries will be closely watched in Western capitals, trying to catch signs that the Chinese President is pushing for the start of peace talks between Moscow and Kiev”– writes the publication.
As the newspaper points out, the main outcome of the visit of the Chinese leader to Moscow may be a plan for a peace agreement, which may provide an opportunity to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
The Australian also writes that China is “seeking to cement its role as a peacemaker.” However, the newspaper believes that the US “will oppose China’s calls for a ceasefire during the Chinese leader’s visit to Moscow.”
According to the newspaper, another outcome of Xi Jinping’s trip to Moscow could be an agreement to build “a high-speed railway that will link the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and transform China, securing the country’s status as the world’s greatest power.”
Earlier, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that Russia and China will contribute more to the progress of all mankind. He noted that Russia and China are trying to create an equal and open security system that will not be directed against third countries.
