China's top diplomat Wang Yi is visiting Russia for security talks, as Moscow seeks continued support for its war on Ukraine, reports BBC.
Beijing is accused of supporting Russia indirectly during the war, which it denies.
Wang Yi’s visit comes after Vladimir Putin met North Korea's Kim Jong Un amid US fears they could strike an arms deal.
Russian media said Wang's trip would also lay the ground for Putin to make a landmark visit to Beijing soon.
China's foreign ministry said Wang is in Russia for four days for "strategic security consultations".
Earlier this month Putin said he expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping, but did not say when.
Putin has not travelled abroad since the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him in March over war crimes in Ukraine. He last ventured onto foreign soil in December 2022 when he visited Belarus and Kyrgyzstan.
