The two leaders' meeting comes the day before a military parade marking Japan's surrender in World War II. Chinese President Xi Jinping has welcomed his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin as an old friend while the latter said their countries' ties were at an unprecedented level, as the two began a series of meetings in Beijing seen as sending a message of defiance and strength to Western powers.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) security forum now bears greater responsibility for safeguarding regional peace and stability, Chinese President Xi Jinping has told about 20 world leaders he hosted for a summit in northern China's Tianjin. Xi also underscored the SCO's mission for the development and prosperity of its member states as he hosted and addressed the high-profile gathering at a banquet on Sunday evening.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has told United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that China supports the global organisation playing a central role in international affairs and that it upholds true multilateralism, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. Xi shared this message with Guterres on Saturday as the UN chief visited China to attend the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. China will remain a reliable partner of the UN, President Xi added.
