Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived at the venue of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin, China, on Sunday, where he was personally welcomed by Chinese President Xi Jinping and First Lady Peng Liyuan. The red-carpet reception underlines the close ties between Moscow and Beijing at a time of heightened global tensions and shifting geopolitical alliances.
This marks Putin's second visit to China since his re-election in March 2024, following a state visit in May. His arrival sets the tone for high-level engagements at the summit, which brings together leaders from over 20 countries to discuss regional security, economic integration, and multipolar global governance.
The SCO, originally a regional security bloc, has grown into a powerful strategic alliance representing nearly half the world’s population. Member states include China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran, and several Central Asian nations, with more than a dozen observer and partner states.
Putin is expected to hold bilateral meetings with leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Talks are likely to focus on the war in Ukraine, Iran's nuclear file, and growing economic cooperation across Eurasia.
The warm reception signals Beijing’s ongoing support for Moscow despite continued Western sanctions and the Ukraine conflict, highlighting how the SCO summit has become a platform for deepening non-Western alliances.
