 China-Russia relations are valuable in the current international scenario: Chinese President

 

 

Chinese President Xi Jinping has said that the stability of China-Russia relations is particularly ‘precious’ in the current chaotic international landscape. According to the US news agency Associated Press, during a meeting with Russian Foreign

Minister Sergei Lavrov in Beijing on Wednesday, President Xi said that the strength and ideal significance of the friendship treaty between the two countries become even more evident in such circumstances.

He stressed that the foreign ministries of the two countries must fully implement the consensus reached between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and further strengthen strategic communication and close diplomatic coordination.

President Xi called for the comprehensive strategic partnership between Beijing and Moscow to be “higher, more stable and more far-reaching.”

Sino-Russian relations have deepened in recent years, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. During Putin’s visit to China in September, the two leaders addressed each other as “old friends” and “dear friends.”

Russian Foreign Min

ster Sergei Lavrov arrived in Beijing on Tuesday for a two-day visit at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.
