President Putin gladly accepted this invitation. At the moment, the parties are closely cooperating on the specific details of organizing the visit of the Russian President to China.
I am sure that the athletes of the two countries will achieve new achievements and make a proper contribution to showing the world a safe and impressive sporting event, “RIA Novosti quoted Zhao Lijian as saying.
