The Kremlin announces the Xi's visit date.

The two-day visit by Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Moscow next week will be business-like and "unburdened by any additional ceremonial things," an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin has revealed. Putin and Xi will discuss Ukraine, energy and military cooperation, with special attention paid to energy cooperation. On Tuesday morning, the Chinese leader is scheduled to hold talks with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. Negotiations involving the respective presidents and high-profile delegations from both countries will be held later in the day. The two countries will also discuss further expanding military cooperation in the presence of the two countries' defense ministers.
