Chinese President Hu Jintao held talks with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev during a short trip to Moscow to mark Victory Day, officials said Sunday.
Putin held several hours of talks with Hu, including private one-on-one negotiations and dinner at his country retreat on Saturday evening, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Peskov declined to give details of the discussion except to say that they were substantive.
Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, who is responsible for energy affairs and often deals with arms sales, was present for part of the talks.
Medvedev, flanked by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the Security Council head Nikolai Patrushev, held talks with Hu on Sunday.
Ahead of the trip, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Iran would be on the agenda during the Moscow talks.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will visit Moscow later this week and is also going to Iran.
