China on Wednesday staged a grand welcome ceremony for Russian President Vladimir Putin, with both Chinese children and Russian reporters attending the event highlighting the strong people-to-people ties between the two nations.
At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Putin is visiting China from May 19 to 20. This is Putin's 25th visit to China.
Ahead of the ceremony on Wednesday morning, Chinese Guard of Honor and the military band were in high spirits, well poised for the occasion.
Among the welcoming crowd were Chinese students waving flowers to greet Putin.
One child said he had visited Russia and found the Russian people very warm and friendly. Another boy spoke fondly of the beautiful scenery he saw during a train journey to St. Petersburg. A girl warmly welcomed President Putin to China and wished him a pleasant stay.
A large number of Russian reporters were present to cover the significant event, witnessing firsthand the growing friendship between the two peoples.
Alina Salionova, a reporter from RT, highlighted the education exchanges between the two countries, as this year and the next year were designated as the China-Russia Years of Education.
"This is also the start of the China-Russia Years of Education. There are many Russian students studying in China, and many Chinese students studying in Russia. If you look around at Moscow State University, you will have a sense of familiarity, because there are many spicy hot pot restaurants near Russian universities," she said.
"I think the most significant change is the visa-free policy between Russia and China. This has significantly brought the people of the two countries and the two nations closer," said Nefedova Alena, a reporter of Russian newspaper Izvestia.
