China's President Xi Jinping will visit Russia in 2025, Russia's state-run RIA news agency quoted Moscow's ambassador to Beijing as saying early on Friday, APA reports citing Reuters.
"As for concrete bilateral events, I can say that the appropriate plans are actively being drawn up," Ambassador Igor Morgulov told RIA.
"What can be said that is no secret, in terms of priority, is that the chairman of the People's Republic of China is expected in Russia next year."
At a regular press conference, China's foreign ministry did not confirm the visit, but reiterated that the two countries maintained close contacts at all levels.
