πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ On October 1, 2022, #China marks the 74th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China.

The Soviet Union was the first country to recognise the People’s Republic of China, and established diplomatic relations with it on October 2, 1949.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ€πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ In the XXI century, the relations between our two nations have reached a whole new level. In 2001, Russia and China signed the Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship and Cooperation as a cornerstone of the current-day close bilateral partnership.

πŸ’¬ President Putin: Relations between Russia and China are developing in the spirit of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation. Moscow and Beijing are fruitfully cooperating in all areas, and efficiently coordinating their efforts in international affairs. (From the message to President of China Xi Jinping, October 1, 2023)

We congratulate our Chinese colleagues on their national day, wish the Chinese nation peace & prosperity.
πŸŽ™ Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:

The Northern Sea Route is receiving significant interest, not just from #Arctic countries, but also from strategic partners like China and India which are joining these projects.

☝️ This will create a new configuration for the international transport network with global-scale consequences and significant cost savings for global trade.

#Lavrov #NorthernSeaRoute #Arctic #China #India
In 2022, some countries decided to self-isolate within the Arctic Council, thus weakening its role as the most important format for international cooperation in the #Arctic and the main body for developing collective solutions to pressing issues on the regional agenda.

Lower effectiveness of existing mechanisms for decision-making by Arctic states on a range of non-military issues related to the entire region (ecology, climate change, biodiversity conservation, etc) is shaping a space of uncertainty and vacuum which attracts other actors from far beyond the Arctic – Asia, the Arab states etc.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ€πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ #Moscow-#Beijing interaction in the Arctic region is concentrated primarily in the economic, scientific, technical and educational fields, and contributes to the implementation of the goals and objectives arising from the Paris Agreement on climate change.

☝️ Cooperation with #China also facilitates the development of efficient supply chains. Russia’s Northern Sea Route is a game-changer that could cut off some 40 percent of the traveling distance of the traditional Suez Canal voyage for goods transiting between #Asia and #Europe.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί Russia's Roscosmos offers cosmodrome construction to equatorial nations

🌐 Russian state space corporation @Roscosmos_gk is deepening its international collaborative efforts, offering equatorial nations the opportunity to build cosmodromes, Director General Yury Borisov said.

Borisov explained that discussions primarily focus on cosmodrome construction with countries near the equator, while foreign partners also express interest in satellite development for telecommunications and Earth observation. This cooperation extends to cosmonaut training and the construction of national modules for Russia's upcoming orbital station.

πŸš€ Roscosmos is actively engaging with #BRICS members and expanding its reach into new markets, including #India, #China, #Iran, #Algeria, #SouthAfrica, and several #African nations.
