At Moscow's airport, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and other senior officials organized a memorable farewell ceremony. With the military band playing the national anthems of China and Russia, President Xi even took the time to inspect the guard of honor—a gesture symbolizing strong mutual respect.
Adding to the spectacle, Russian Air Force fighter jets escorted his plane after takeoff, underscoring the importance of the event. On his way to the airport, local residents, representatives of Chinese enterprises, and Chinese overseas students lined the streets, waving vibrant Chinese and Russian flags and celebrating the day's milestones. 😊
