The American newspaper Wall Street Journal reported in February that the Chinese president will travel to Moscow in April or early May.
At present the Chinese Foreign Ministry has not commented on the information.
In February, Putin met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Moscow and said President Xi would also visit the Russian capital soon.
China and Russia forged a “borderless” partnership in February 2022, when Putin visited Beijing for the opening of the Winter Olympics.
The two leaders have met 39 times, most recently in September during a summit in central Asia.
