Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that Chinese citizens will soon be able to visit Russia without requiring a visa. This decision follows a reciprocal agreement where China granted Russians visa-free travel for up to 30 days. The policy is intended to boost bilateral relations and increase tourism between the two countries.
Analysts suggest that the visa-free agreement could lead to a significant increase in visitors from China, which is one of Russia’s largest trading partners. This move is also seen as a positive step in the context of ongoing geopolitical tensions between the two nations. The agreement is expected to benefit both economies through increased trade and investment.
Putin’s announcement was made during a press conference held in Moscow, where he emphasized the importance of strengthening cooperation between Russia and China. The Russian government has expressed its commitment to maintaining good relations with its neighboring countries, particularly in the current geopolitical climate.
