Mr Putin also recalled his presence in Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics, and the Chinese delegation's attendance at Russia's 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, calling such exchanges "to a certain extent a tradition." Leaders call on West to abandon Cold War 'ideological approaches' Mr Putin and Mr Xi accused both NATO and the US's Indo-Pacific strategy of building closer military ties with other countries in Asia as destabilising and threatening regional security. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a call last week that Moscow's security concerns need to be addressed, a statement that marked a notable policy shift for Beijing.
