China’s top foreign policy official is heading to Russia for security talks after two days of meetings with US President Joe Biden’s national security adviser over the weekend in Malta. 


Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who simultaneously holds the ruling Communist Party’s top foreign policy post, will be in Russia from Monday to Thursday for a round of China-Russia strategic security consultations, the Foreign Ministry said in a brief statement.


The US and China are at odds over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. China has refrained from taking sides, saying that while a country’s territory must be respected, the West needs to consider Russia’s security concerns about NATO expansion. It has accused the US of prolonging the fighting by providing arms to Ukraine.
