Xi welcomes Putin in Beijing days after Trump visit

Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin in an elaborate ceremony at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People on Tuesday, just days after hosting US President Donald Trump in the Chinese capital.

The meeting comes amid heightened global focus on the war involving Iran and growing uncertainty over whether US-Iran diplomacy can prevent renewed military escalation.

Iran and the future of negotiations between Tehran and Washington are expected to feature prominently in discussions between the Chinese and Russian leaders.
