Russland: Xi und Putin betonen bei Gipfeltreffen ihre Zusammenarbeit
Beim Treffen der russlandfreundlichen SCO zeigen die beiden Länder demonstrative Einigkeit. Zu den Gesprächen in Kirgisistan werden auch Erdoğan, Modi und der iranische Staatschef erwartet.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin highlighted their cooperation in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, during Gipfeltreffen, emphasizing the importance of their partnership amidst the challenges posed by Western sanctions. Putin praised the successful economic and non-economic cooperation between the two nations at the 35th anniversary celebration of Kirghizia's independence from the Soviet Union.
The SCO, a coalition of China and Russia-friendly states, was celebrated as a key contributor to regional stability and development. Russian President Putin discussed substantial projects in energy, industry, space, transport, and logistics. Despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Putin stressed that bilateral relations were the primary focus of the summit, with extensive trade and economic matters discussed behind closed doors to avoid public scrutiny.
The United States, European Union, and Ukraine have criticized Russia for bypassing sanctions and supplying essential goods to the country, while Russia funds its war efforts with oil and gas sales to its neighbor. The SCO summit, marking its 25th year, also brought together Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Paschinjan for discussions.
