Chinese leader Xi Jinping is undertaking his busiest foreign travel schedule in over seven years to reinforce his claim to global leadership and protect a trade truce.
Intensifying Foreign Travels
While Chinese leader Xi Jinping has generally preferred to host foreign leaders in Beijing in recent years, with the travel program he launched this month, he has entered his busiest period of foreign visits in over seven years.
Kyrgyzstan and Summit Contacts
Xi Jinping met with Sadyr Japarov in Kyrgyzstan's capital, Bishkek, and attended the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting. Bilateral meetings with leaders are being held within the framework of the visits.
Meetings with International Leaders
During his engagements in Bishkek, he is expected to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Washington Visit and Trade Truce
It is stated that one of the most important stops of the intense travel schedule will be Washington at the end of September, and Xi aims to maintain the trade truce by meeting with US President Donald Trump.
Artificial Intelligence and Global Competition
The intense diplomacy traffic also offers an opportunity for China to promote its technology and artificial intelligence projects internationally, including Huawei's initiatives to establish AI data centers in Egypt.
