TREE NEWS update: Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on October 3 that China welcomes President Vladimir Putin to the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting to be held in Shenzhen in November. Guo said head-of-state diplomacy is the most important political guarantee for the steady development of China-Russia ties, and that Beijing is ready to work with Moscow for a productive APEC “China Year.”
China Welcomes Putin to APEC Shenzhen Summit in November
The venue matters as much as the guest list: APEC is an economic forum, and hosting Putin there folds geopolitics into a year China has branded its own. For Asian and other APEC economies weighing engagement with Moscow, the gathering tests whether the bloc can keep trade and security tracks separate. Whether Putin's attendance materializes, and how other leaders calibrate their presence around it, is the open question to watch.
