Russia and China Reaffirm Ties Following Trump Inauguration

Background

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – A day after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday had a phone conversation in which they affirmed their two countries’ ties based on ‘shared interests, equality, and mutual benefits,’ the Associated Press reports.

China stood by Moscow following Putin’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and became a key buyer of Russian oil and gas amid widespread sanctions imposed on Russia by Western powers opposed to the war, AP notes. China also supplied Russia with needed technologies.

“We jointly support the development of a more just multipolar global order and work to ensure indivisible security in Eurasia and the world as a whole,” Putin told Xi according to remarks reported by Russian state TV. “Joint efforts by Russia and China play an important stabilizing role in global affairs.”

Xi reportedly said that the connections between China and Russia “bring positive energy to reforming and developing the global system,” AP reports.

“While neither leader directly mentioned Trump in the televised fragment of their call, the timing of the conversation may signal that Putin and Xi want to coordinate their action in dialogue with the new U.S. administration,” AP noted in its report. Both Putin and Xi have recently expressed optimism about their respective countries’ future diplomatic relations with the new Trump administration.
