In his article, he mentioned the friendship and close relationship between China and Russia. He said that after becoming the Chinese President 10 years ago, Russia was the first country he visited. He has visited Russia 8 times in the past 10 years. He has met Russian President Vladimir Putin 40 times on both bilateral and international occasions.

He said that China-Russia relations have gone through ups and downs for more than 70 years.

"Today's Sino-Russian relations are hard-won." The Sino-Russian friendship lasts forever and must be cherished even more.

He said that his upcoming visit to Russia is a journey of friendship, cooperation and peace; he looks forward to working with Putin to draw up a new vision, new blueprint and new measures for the development of China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination in the coming period , including promoting both the quality and quantity of investment, economic and trade cooperation, and continuing to promote the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and the docking cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Union.

When referring to the current international situation, he said: "There is no superior country in the world, there is no national governance model that is universally applicable, and there is no international order where a certain country has the final say." He also pointed out that he has proposed one after another. The Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative are the "Chinese solutions" to respond to changes in the world.

At the end of the article, Xi Jinping said that since last year, the crisis in Ukraine has escalated in an all-round way.

"China always focuses on the merits of the matter itself, upholds an objective and fair stance, and actively promotes peace talks."

He said that he has successively put forward a number of propositions on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, respect for the legitimate security concerns of all countries, support for all efforts to peacefully resolve the Ukrainian crisis, and ensure the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain. It has become the fundamental principle for China to deal with the Ukrainian crisis.

He also mentioned the "China's Position on the Political Solution to the Ukraine Crisis" document issued by China not long ago, saying that it "absorbed the reasonable concerns of all parties and reflected the greatest common denominator of the international community on the Ukraine crisis. In order to alleviate the spillover of the crisis, It has played a constructive role in promoting a political solution".

He said that there is no simple solution to complex problems, and said: "We believe that as long as all parties uphold a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept, and insist on equal, rational and pragmatic dialogue and consultation, we will be able to find a solution to the Ukrainian crisis. A reasonable way to find a bright road to achieve lasting peace and universal security in the world.”

It has been more than a year since Russia invaded Ukraine. China has adopted an apparently neutral stance and tried to strike a balance on sovereignty issues. It does not criticize Russia for infringing on Ukraine's sovereignty, while reiterating the need to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries.

The outside world is concerned about whether China will play a more active role in the Russia-Ukraine war during Xi Jinping's visit to Russia.
