China's Xi to visit Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus

AKIPRESS.COM - xi Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit Kazakhstan on May 7 and then will head to Russia for Victory Parade on May 9, the foreign ministry of China announced Monday.

Xi will visit Moscow from Friday through Sunday at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

On his way Xi will stop in Kazakhstan on Thursday for a one day visit, and he will return via Belarus from Sunday to Tuesday, the ministry added.

Xi's visit comes as China stresses its role in the defeat of Japan as well as the broader victory against global fascism -- a reference also to Nazi Germany and Italy -- as the world marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the conflict.

China itself is planning a huge military parade later this year to commemorate victory over Japan and also the end of the conflict in Europe.
