1:56Now PlayingRussian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping for Kremlin talks that reflected increasingly close ties between the two countries that were communist rivals during the Cold War.
Xi called Putin his “close friend,” noting that they have met nearly 30 times over the last six years. The trip marked Xi’s eighth visit to Russia since he took the helm in 2012.
“We will strengthen our mutual support on key issues,” Xi said, sitting next to Putin in an ornate Kremlin hall.
Relations between Russia and China have become increasingly close as they both face mounting tensions with the U.S.
Xi brought with him two Chinese pandas for the Moscow Zoo. The two leaders will also see a performance at Moscow’s famed Bolshoi Theater. The Chinese president, who attends the opening of a Chinese car plant Wednesday, will leave for St. Petersburg Thursday, where he’ll receive an honorary doctorate from Putin’s alma mater.
