At China's Belt and Road project summit, President Xi Jinping welcomed world leaders, including Russia's Vladimir Putin. However, just before Putin's speech, several delegates, including former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, walked out of the event. Videos showed Putin carrying a nuclear briefcase, adding to the intrigue. In his speech, Putin thanked Xi for the invitation, emphasizing Russia and China's desire for equal cooperation. Notably, this marked Putin's second overseas trip since the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant, highlighting China's immunity to such warrants.
