Russian President Vladimir Putin is getting ready for a diplomatic visit to Beijing this September, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. The visit is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen ties between Moscow and Beijing, although details about the agenda remain limited.
Speaking to reporters, Peskov confirmed the trip but noted uncertainty surrounding whether former U.S. President Donald Trump would also be in China during that time.
“If it so happens that he [Trump] is also there, then of course, the question of a possible meeting may be raised,” said Peskov.
While the Kremlin has no confirmed information regarding Trump’s potential presence in Beijing, the suggestion of a meeting adds another layer of geopolitical intrigue. With the U.S. presidential election season approaching, any interaction between Putin and Trump could spark global headlines and speculation about international alignments.
Putin’s planned visit comes amid heightened global tensions, as Russia continues to navigate sanctions, the war in Ukraine, and shifting alliances in Asia.
At this point, there’s no official confirmation of whether Trump will travel to China in September or whether any dialogue between the two leaders will take place.
