Xi, Putin reach many new, important common understandings

Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin had in-depth exchanges of views on China-Russia relations and major international and regional issues and reached many new and important common understandings during Xi’s visit to Russia, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said here Friday.

Lin Jian told a daily news briefing that the two heads of state signed the Joint Statement Between the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation on Further Deepening the China-Russia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership of Coordination for the New Era on the Occasion of the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Soviet Union’s Great Patriotic War and the Founding of the United Nations. They witnessed the exchange of over 20 bilateral cooperation documents, injecting new impetus into the development of China-Russia relations.

Noting that the two sides are good neighbours that cannot be moved away, true friends who share weal and woe, and good partners for mutual success, Xi said that the relationship between China and Russia is characterised by a distinct historical logic, strong endogenous driving force and rich civilizations, and does not target any third party and it is not subject to restrictions from any third party, according to Lin.
