President Xi Jinping received an unusual gift from Russian President Vladimir Putin - the Russian bath. It will be felled from a 200-year-old cedar, mined in the Altai, reports "The Fifth Channel". According to the source, the construction itself has not yet been brought to China - Chairman X saw only the bathhouse project and cut down the cedar from which it will be built. The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, explained that the bath will be installed in the place that the Chinese themselves will choose. On June 8, Putin arrived in China on an official visit: he held talks with Xi Jinping and will attend a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

The meeting of the heads of the "Shanghai eight" will be held June 9 in Qingdao. The Chinese arranged a solemn meeting for the president of the Russian Federation: Putin reached the square near the House of Public Assembly in Beijing on the limousine Mercedes, and to the building he accompanied the orchestra of the People's Liberation Army of China, who performed the famous "Katyusha". The Russian president became the first in the world to be the knight of the new Order of Friendship of the PRC.
