At the invitation of Chinese President Hu Jintao, Russia's President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to visit China later this month, said Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing on Tuesday.
"The visit is expected to boost the all-round development of the Sino-Russian Strategic Partnership of Cooperation, and facilitate world peace, stability and development," he said.
Li said during Putin's visit, the two presidents would jointly attend the opening ceremony of "the Year of Russia" in China and a Sino-Russia high-level business forum.
The two sides would also issue political documents and sign a series of mutual cooperative treaties.
Li made the remarks at a press conference held on the sidelines of the ongoing annual full session of the 10th National People's Congress, China's top legislature.
