On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus talks about China-Russia relations, as the two countries mark 75 years of bilateral ties.

In a congratulatory message sent to his counterpart Vladimir Putin, President Xi Jinping said that China stood ready to deepen "practical cooperation" with Russia, which was among the first countries to recognise the PRC.

The bolstering of ties between the two neighbours comes amidst rising geopolitical tensions, with China expected to play a more prominent role in ceasefire talks surrounding the war in Ukraine.

The two leaders are expected to meet later this month at the BRICS Summit in the southwestern Russian city of Kazan.

In the second part of the programme, we talk about the latest developments in the Middle East, following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iran's launch of over 100 missiles at Israel.
