Presidents Xi and Putin arrive in Kazakhstan | BBC News

The leaders of Russia and China have arrived in Kazakhstan for a regional security gathering.

Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are in the Kazakh capital Astana for the two-day meeting at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.

The annual event has been dominated by China and Russia, as they seek to shape regional developments since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Putin is also due to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the leaders of Azerbaijan, Mongolia and Pakistan before an informal dinner hosted by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

the Shanghai corporation "doesn't actually do much"...maybe you coud tell us what G7 actually does?

[ranx]

At least they don’t call others losers and stares into the distance.

[alibekadil]

BBC wrote the name of the country with mistake as "Kazakhastan" when it has to be "Kazakhstan". So unprofessional for BBC. As a citizen of Kazakhstan, I'm offended. Also check your hashtags in description, full of mistakes. Pathetic.

[xieccs]

The interview is very narrow minded and biased, what is the efficiency of the G-7?

[kaijunjiang]

The professor must have never been out of his cubicle and West excellence syndrome. Or he was deported from Russia.

[keirenle]

Dictator club? What sort of expert is he? Central Asia is super important geopolitically and one what has huge economic growth recently.

[msbayramoglu]

This BBC so-called Central Asia expert guy has no idea of what he is talking about. The current economic world order is on the brink of a dramatic change in Central Asia but this so-called expert guy is unaware of it...

[samuelwilliams]

Look at the smirk around the lips of the professor. He knows he is lying.

[RiseOfAsia]

He said the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation doesn't really matter and it is one of the most inefficient organisation bla bla bla... Why do you even get him to talk about the event? Typical 'shitty' BBC news coverage...

[theeaselrider]

Now we have another contender in the "our hats are bigger than yours", competition.

[billiehart]

These are the experts that you give time, this guy is just talking nonses

[MrKm]

Who is this so called professor 😂: please BBC, is this guy all you could find….only half of the world is attending this event, your guy must be living on the moon!: this is typical of a state run media station!!’ Shame on you BBC!

[hernanuliana]

Yeah, almost as useless as the "peace summit" in Davos.

[musdef]

Plunderers calling others dictators is mind boggling.

[W.GlobalAffairs]

"they don't do much but get people to talk"? Well, getting people to talk is the much we have ever needed in this world.

[kateigamaleo]

Why is it that journalists have to always ask American correspondents?? Dont The participating countries have their own correspondents, and why is that everything these two countries do is perceived as "against the United States?" Is it a perception or it's just that these countries dont have to engage without the United States?

[kirabowilliam]

What sort of analysis is this guy giving? Very delusional guy ad is the BBC.

[Rafaelnk]

The relationship between China and Russia is now stong than ever. Henry Kissinger must turning in his grave rn.😂

[RobertJackson]

The guy is from John Hopkins university 😂😂😂 on pentagon payroll

[iueqyrm]

How nice, the anchor never interrupting an expert, cause he’s saying the “right thing”
