🇷🇺🇨🇳 President Vladimir Putin and President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping held talks in Beijing.
💬 Vladimir Putin: One and a half years after my last visit, all of us, our large delegation, are in Beijing again. We can see that the city is developing and prospering, and we are very glad for our Chinese friends.
Your idea of promoting wide-ranging cooperation between the countries of the historical Silk Road, which was put forward ten years ago, has gained momentum.
You have just outlined a very strong and extensive programme to further promote your road and destiny idea intended to benefit, in effect, as you say yourself, the whole of humankind. We sincerely wish you success in this noble undertaking.
Under the difficult present-day conditions, it is particularly relevant to maintain close foreign policy coordination, something we are doing now. Today, we will discuss all of this, including, and primarily, our bilateral relations.

🎙 President Vladimir Putin sent greetings to participants in the 10th Anniversary session of the United Russia Party – Communist Party of China Dialogue (November 20, 2023)
💬 Russian-Chinese relations of comprehensive strategic partnership have attained an unprecedentedly high level. We implement large-scale joint economic, transport, energy, humanitarian and other projects. Moscow and Beijing coordinate their efforts both at the bilateral level and at the #SCO, #BRICS and other multilateral organisations, while addressing highly important international issues and facilitating the creation of a more just and democratic world order.
The fine-tuned and constructive interaction between leading political parties of both countries, specifically, United Russia and the Communist Party of China, facilitates the sustainable development of diverse ties between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China. Regular contacts involving central agencies, as well as regional institutions, provide a useful exchange of experience in the field of party development as well as parliamentary and public activities, making it possible to discuss in detail a wide range of topical issues on the bilateral and international agenda.
I am confident that your discussions will once again prove meaningful and constructive, and that your opinions and ideas will serve to further expand fruitful Russian-Chinese cooperation still further.

✍️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin's interview to Xinhua News Agency ahead of his state visit to the People’s Republic of China (May 15, 2024)
Key talking points:
🇷🇺🇨🇳 #RussiaChina partnership has always relied on the principles of equality and trust, mutual respect for the sovereignty and consideration of each other's interests. A special and prominent role in the development of our relations has belonged to wise and shrewd politicians and state leaders, such as Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China.
• This unprecedented level of strategic partnership between our countries determined my choice of China as the first state to be visited after the official inauguration as the President of the Russian Federation.
• October 1 marks the 75th Anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The country is approaching this significant historical date with outstanding achievements, which we welcome as old, reliable and time-tested friends. The USSR was the first to recognize the PRC on the second day of its existence.
• Russia-China ties as they are today, are free from the influence of either ideology or political trends. Their multidimensional development is an informed strategic choice based on the wide convergence of core national interests, profound mutual trust, strong public support and sincere friendship between the peoples of the two countries.
📈 Trade and economic relations between our countries are developing at a fast pace, showing strong immunity to external challenges and crises. Over the past five years, we have doubled the Russia-China turnover: it reached $227.8 billion last year, against $111 billion in 2019.
• President of China Xi Jinping and I decided to declare 2024 and 2025 cross years of culture between Russia and China, so as to implement this large‑scale project in conjunction with the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at a meeting with Foreign Minister of the People’s Republic of China Wang Yi on the sidelines of the #BRICS Foreign Ministers Meeting (Nizhny Novgorod, June 10, 2024)
💬 We are happy to welcome you to Nizhny Novgorod, the capital of the Volga Federal District and the Nizhny Novgorod Region, which actively cooperates with the People’s Republic of China, including through the implementation of the well-known and beneficial Volga-Yangtze project.
During our recent meeting in Astana, we exchanged thoughts on the traditional Russian-Chinese Summit, which took place in May of this year. Our Presidents outlined the main direction for advancing our strategic cooperation in the context of the comprehensive partnership between Russia and China.
We have a special responsibility for foreign policy coordination, primarily at the UN Security Council, #BRICS, #SCO, #G20, #APEC, and other multilateral formats. The Global Majority countries have an increasingly positive perception of our engagement with our Chinese friends. The number of our opinion allies and countries interested in cooperation with BRICS and the SCO is steadily expanding.
Today’s ministerial meeting, the first after BRICS’ enlargement, will be dedicated to discussing these trends and charting guidelines for further development and determination. We will submit these to our leaders at the summit in Kazan in October 2024.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 On September 25, Sergey Lavrov met with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China Wang Yi on the sidelines of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.
The Parties praised the development of political dialogue and practical cooperation between Russia and China amidst the highly turbulent international situation. Focus was placed on the implementation of agreements reached at the higher level, as well as the preparations for the BRICS summit in Kazan and new contacts between the two countries’ leaders.
The Ministers stressed the importance of enhancing the two countries’ foreign policy coordination at international platforms, such as the #UN and its Security Council, #BRICS, #SCO, #APEC, #G20, and other formats. Sergey Lavrov and Wang Yi mentioned that Western countries’ illegitimate sanctions imposed in circumvention of UN Security Council resolutions are unacceptable as they undermine the stability of the global economy and universal forms of trade and economic cooperation.
An in-depth discussion was held on global and Eurasian security, including settlement process for the Ukrainian crisis and measures to counter the West in escalating the situation in the Asia-Pacific region and around Taiwan, as well as on a number of other issues on the regional agenda.
The conversation took place in the traditionally trust-based and constructive spirit typical of the Russian-Chinese strategic partnership.
