“it was intended to mark the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation between the two nations”
MISLEADING
While the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation exists (signed in 2001), the TASS evidence explicitly states that the 25th anniversary will be marked in 2026, not during the May 2024 visit. The claim incorrectly attributes the anniversary to the current visit.
