China's Xi Jinping tells Putin 'change is coming' as he departs Moscow

Footage shows the moment Xi Jinping told Vladimir Putin that "change is coming" as he departed Moscow.

The Chinese president was the first world leader to shake hands with Putin since he was charged with war crimes by the ICC over the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia.

"Change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years and we are driving this change together," he told the Russian president.

It was Xi's first trip to the country in four years.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin were filmed bidding warm farewells to one another after their two-day meeting in the Kremlin.

On Tuesday, Xi’s departure was filmed with translators speaking for both leaders.

“Right now there are changes — the likes of which we haven’t seen for 100 years — and we are the ones driving these changes together, ” Xi said, to which Putin replied: “I agree.”

The leaders shook hands and Xi said: “Take care please, dear friend.”

“Have a safe trip, ” Putin responded.
