Xi heads to Russia next week after China touts Ukraine peace plan

14 Sept 10:01 Key points summarised by AI

Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to visit Russia (March 20-22) for talks with Vladimir Putin, aiming to deepen their "no limits" strategic partnership and discuss major international issues.
The trip follows China's recent unveiling of a 12-point plan for a "political resolution of the Ukraine crisis," advocating for civilian protection and mutual respect for sovereignty.
China's peace initiative has received a lukewarm reception, with the U.S. and NATO questioning its credibility due to Beijing's refusal to condemn Russia's invasion, while both Ukraine and Russia have expressed reservations about the proposals.
