CHINA-RUSSIA: CHINESE PRESIDENT XI JINPING GREETS RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN ON LATTER'S BIRTHDAY
|
Chinese President Xi Jinping on June 15 spoke to Russian President Putin on the latter's 69th
birthday on June 28.
(Comment: The call is a reassertion of support by Xi Jinping despite the criticism inside China
and sections of the CCP. It comes in the backdrop of Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng, widely
viewed as a contender for the post of Foreign Minister, being moved as Deputy Director
of National Radio and Television Administration.)
