Xi and Putin, boasting close working relationship and intimate personal friendship, have met with each other for 22 times in five consecutive years. In an apparent gesture to support the Xi-proposed initiative, Putin came to Beijing in May to attend the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation.
Their closer-than-ever ties have become a "locomotive" for China-Russia relations, and kept boosting the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination, said Chen Yurong, a senior researcher in Eurasian studies at the China Institute of International Studies.
"Literally, they can talk about anything, which is a reflection of the remarkable mutual trust between the two countries," Chen noted.
During Xi's visit, the two sides will also sign a slew of cooperation agreements in such fields as trade, economy, investment, connectivity, media and education, and approve guidelines to better implement the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation between China and Russia in 2017-2020.
Last year, the two countries managed to reverse a declining trend in bilateral trade, achieving a 2.2-percent growth to reach 69.5 billion U.S. dollars. In the first five months of this year, the trade volume increased by 26 percent to 32.4 billion dollars.
China remains Russia's largest trading partner for years, and Russia China's major exporter of edge-cutting machineries.
According to Maxim Oreshkin, Russia's economic development minister, the promotion of major joint projects is the best way to increase bilateral trade.
