Reportedly, one document is a statement on plans for economic cooperation, and the other is a statement on plans to deepen the partnership.
In addition, Russian sources say that Putin “supported the development of sporting links between the Russian Federation and China and the establishment of a sports association within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation”.
He explained that this is necessary because the West “uses sport as an instrument of pressure”.
