The Kremlin called the negotiations between Putin and Xi Jinping unexpectedly protracted

The first day of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow turned out to be unexpectedly long, but this speaks to the confidential spirit and meaningfulness of the communication between the Chinese leader and Russian President Vladimir Putin. About this in an interview with the program “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin” on the channel “Russia 1” declared Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.

“No, it was not planned, of course, this is an unexpectedly protracted event. But this speaks of the mood of the two leaders, of the trusting spirit and meaningfulness of their communication,” Peskov said.
