Moscow – Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that Chinese citizens will now be allowed visa-free entry into Russia, marking a significant step in strengthening ties between the two countries. The decision comes after Beijing recently introduced a similar arrangement for Russian nationals.
Putin described the initiative as a “reciprocal gesture,” aimed at deepening economic, cultural, and people-to-people exchanges. He noted that easing travel restrictions would not only boost tourism but also create new opportunities in trade, education, and cross-border cooperation.
The move is seen as part of Moscow’s broader effort to enhance relations with Beijing amid shifting global power dynamics. Both nations have increasingly coordinated on political and economic fronts, with leaders frequently highlighting their shared vision of a multipolar world order.
Analysts believe that the visa-free arrangement could significantly increase tourism flows between Russia and China, benefiting local economies in border regions and major cities. It is also expected to encourage greater collaboration in sectors such as infrastructure, technology, and energy.
The announcement underscores the growing strategic partnership between Moscow and Beijing at a time when Russia continues to face strained relations with Western countries. Observers suggest that the development reflects the two governments’ mutual commitment to reducing barriers and strengthening regional cooperation.
With the new policy, Chinese travelers will be able to visit Russia without the need for a visa, making bilateral engagement more seamless than before.
