Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed a relationship with Beijing at an “unprecedentedly high level” on Tuesday, as the two countries reportedly inked a long-stalled agreement to build a massive new pipeline to send natural gas to China via Mongolia.

Putin and Xi Jinping spent hours together on Tuesday, meeting with Mongolia’s president, sitting down for their own formal talks, and sipping tea at the Chinese leader’s official residence – in the latest show of solidarity between the two strongmen seeking to present a new world order. #CNN #News
