Russian President Vladimir Putin could visit China after Beijing assigned disputed territories to China in its new map, casting doubt on the seemingly strong Sino–Russian relationship.

President Putin has been invited to visit China and is expected to do so in October, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hosts the Belt and Road Forum, his foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said on July 25, Russian state media outlet Tass reported.
