Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a video conference on Tuesday from Beijing's Great Hall of the People, reinforcing their strategic partnership shortly after the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump. This marks their second contact in recent days. Xi expressed China's readiness to elevate relations with Russia to new heights in 2025 and emphasized the importance of jointly countering external uncertainties. He called for deepening strategic cooperation, firmly supporting each other, and safeguarding their legitimate interests. Putin noted that last year was very fruitful for both nations and highlighted that Russia-China cooperation plays a stabilizing role in international affairs.
