Putin discusses Trump with Xi privately at SCO summit
The Independent
|September 01, 2025
Vladimir Putin received the red carpet treatment as he arrived in China for a regional security summit that hopes to counter Western influence over global affairs.
The Russian leader, on a rare four-day visit to Moscow’s largest trading partner, was met with a warm welcome from top-ranking city officials in the northern port city of Tianjin yesterday.
Shortly after his arrival, Putin and Chinese president Xi Jinping held a sideline meeting in which they discussed recent contacts between Moscow and Washington, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov told Russian media.
The two-day summit will see 20 leaders from across central Asia, southeast Asia, south Asia, and the Middle East gather for a powerful show of global South solidarity.
It is believed to be the largest gathering of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) since the group was established in 2001 among six Eurasian nations.

Why is Gen Z so obsessed with 'almost relationships'?
Nothing is as romantic as a relationship that never quite happened. Preserved in possibility, it’s a near-miss dynamic that exists in an exclusively liminal space; you’re not quite together, but there’s enough evidence to suggest that one day, were all the stars to suddenly align, you might be. And so you cling on, wondering, waiting, hoping.
