Russian president Vladimir Putin has addressed Chinese leader Xi Jinping in a new year message reaffirming his intention to be at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics In a telegram issued to numerous world leaders, the Kremlin said Russia and China had « interacted very productively » despite the « difficulties » of the pandemic. The announcement reflected on « record indicators in trade » as a result of a political dialogue between the countries based on long-held scientific and technical links and joint innovation. Putin would not have been allowed to attend the Winter Olympic Games in China in February as part of World Anti-Doping Agency sanctions on Russia which forbid government officials and representatives from attending major events.
