Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in Beijing for a two-day visit.
The Russian leader will be in the Chinese capital on May 19-20. His working agenda is quite busy. According to Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov, the highlight of the visit will be the reception of his Russian counterpart by Chinese President Xi Jinping, which will allow the two leaders to discuss international issues.
Putin was welcomed as an honored guest at Beijing Capital International Airport. The national flags of Russia and China were raised in his honor, an honor guard was lined up, and a group of Chinese schoolchildren and students were present to welcome him.
The Russian leader was welcomed by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui, Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov and senior diplomatic staff from Russian diplomatic institutions. Putin shook hands with those who came to greet him. As he walked down the red carpet, children and students chanted “Welcome!” in Chinese.
After the brief welcoming ceremony, Putin boarded the presidential Aurus and headed for the state residence he had been given. The Russian leader usually drives his car with Russian license plates, even on trips abroad. This time was no exception; the presidential limousine was brought from Russia especially for this trip, but its license plates were replaced with Chinese ones.
