BBC News: China sends top envoy Wang Yi to Russia for security talks
China's top diplomat Wang Yi is visiting Russia for security talks, as Moscow seeks continued support for its war on Ukraine.
A close ally of Moscow, Beijing is accused of supporting Russia indirectly during the war, which it denies.
His visit comes after Vladimir Putin met North Korea's Kim Jong Un amid US fears they could strike an arms deal.
