BEIJING: China and Russia should jointly safeguard their security and development interests, Chinese President Xi Jinping told the visiting Russian parliament speaker on Tuesday, in their efforts to build a more \u201cequitable\u201d international order.<\/p>\n
The two sides should continue their traditional friendship and deepen strategic mutual trust, state-run Xinhua news agency quoted Xi as saying.<\/p>\n
US President Donald Trump said earlier this week that he might impose \u201cmassive\u201d sanctions on Russia in two weeks depending on whether progress was possible in his bid to end Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Trump held a summit with President Vladimir Putin in Alaska earlier this month, but has been<\/p>\n

Vyacheslav Volodin, chairman of Russia\u2019s lower house of parliament the State Duma, arrived in China on Monday ahead of Putin\u2019s visit to China this weekend, where he will cross paths with tens of Global South world leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at a security forum.<\/p>\n
Indian exporters are bracing for additional 25 percent US tariffs from Wednesday as punishment for New Delhi\u2019s purchases of Russian oil.<\/p>\n
Russia and China should \u201cunite\u201d the countries in the Global South, Xi told Volodin, a key domestic ally of Putin\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Putin will also be the principal foreign guest of honor at a military parade in Beijing next week marking the formal surrender of Japan and the end of World War Two.<\/p>\n
Ahead of what is set to be a massive public showcase of China\u2019s modernizing armed forces, Beijing has mounted a campaign saying China and the former Soviet Union played a pivotal role in the Asian and European theaters during World War Two.<\/p>\n
China-Russia relations serve as a \u201csource of stability for world peace,\u201d said Xi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
