On the eve of the SCO summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the key leaders behind the organization's expansion, met and celebrated their countries' growing alignment. Putin emphasized that Russia-China relations are at their historical peak and serve as a stabilizing force globally. He highlighted their cooperation as a major stabilizing factor on the international stage and their roles in the founding of the SCO, which he noted has rapidly expanded and become a key pillar of a multipolar world order. This meeting marked their second face-to-face talks in two months, following Putin's visit to Beijing in May. Amidst deepening political, economic, and military ties, China has become Russia's top trade partner, providing critical support to its sanctioned economy. Both nations continue to conduct joint military exercises, including with Iran, despite US accusations that China is aiding Russia's military efforts in Ukraine, which Beijing denies. Xi reiterated the importance of their lasting friendship and urged both countries to safeguard their legitimate rights and regional stability. #SCOsummit, #VladimirPutin, #Russia, #LIVE, #PutinSpeaks, #Geopolitics, #InternationalRelations, #WorldLeaders, #Diplomacy, #GlobalAffairs Hindustan Times Videos brings all the News for the Global Indian under one umbrella.
