Putin meets with Erdogan and Chinese president tomorrow

Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan and China's Xi Jinping tomorrow.

This is expected to be realised during a summit of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation (SCO) in Kazakhstan's capital Astana, the Russian state news agency TASS reports.

Putin met with Xi for the last time in May, when he visited China on his first trip abroad after being inaugurated for a fifth term as Russian president, writes Sky News.

SCO is a Eurasian political, economic, international security and defence organisation created by China and Russia in 2001.

The other full members are India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Turkey, while not a member, often participates in its meetings as “partner dialogue”.
