Russian President Vladimir Putin said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping are able to understand one another without needing to rely on spoken language, according to a report by the state news agency TASS.
Putin's remarks pointed to what he described as a close personal rapport between the two leaders, who have met numerous times in recent years as Russia and China have deepened cooperation on trade, energy, and diplomatic coordination on the world stage.
TASS did not report additional details from Putin on the context in which the comment was made, and the agency's dispatch did not include a response from Chinese officials. The statement follows a pattern of public remarks from both Moscow and Beijing emphasizing the closeness of the Russia-China relationship amid continued tensions with Western governments.
