Xi was set to arrive in Russia on Wednesday for a four-day state visit and hold talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Thursday. As arguably the most prominent foreign leader to join Putin as the 'main guest of honour', Xi will also attend the May 9 military parade in Red Square to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
