Putin Hosts Exclusive Tea Party For Xi |Meets Xi in Informal Talks as World Leaders Gather for V-Day

Despite Moscow brimming with global dignitaries for the Victory Day events, Russian President Vladimir Putin held only an informal meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The absence of a formal bilateral engagement raised eyebrows amid the grand celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War. At a state dinner for foreign delegations, Putin gave a commemorative speech, while continued informal talks between the two leaders hinted at deep, strategic dialogues away from the spotlight. The low-key engagement stands out amid a highly symbolic diplomatic setting. #Putin #XiJinping #RussiaChina #VictoryDay #Moscow2025 #GreatPatrioticWar #PutinSpeech #StateDinner #ChinaRussiaRelations #Diplomacy #InformalTalks #GlobalLeaders #WorldWarII #Geopolitics #XiPutin #Russia80YearsVictory #MoscowEvents #PutinXiMeeting #VictoryDayParade #MoscowSummit Also Read Russian President Vladimir Putin Calls PM Modi To Condemn Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-president-vladimir-putin-calls-pm-modi-to-condemn-pahalgam-terror-attack-4143787.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc Zelensky Awaits U.S. Response After Putin Rejects Unconditional Ceasefire Proposal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelensky-awaits-u-s-response-after-putin-rejects-unconditional-ceasefire-proposal-4116597.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~
