🎙 Concluding his working visit to the People's Republic of China, President Vladimir Putin answered questions from Russian media (October 18, 2023)
#RussiaChina
🇷🇺🇨🇳 Regarding the influence of external factors and conflicts on the development of Russian-Chinese relations, all these external factors amount to common threats, and they strengthen Russian-Chinese interaction.
I am optimistic about specific prospects. In March, we reached certain agreements and set forth eight clauses. Right now, the prime ministers will have to clarify these clauses in Bishkek, and they will sign a plan for our interaction until 2030. This is a very good, specific and substantial plan.
China's Belt and Road initiative is a global initiative and concerns practically every region of the world. What is called the Eurasian Partnership is a local-scale project. Without any doubt, one complements the other.
#MiddleEast
Regarding the impressions I got during conversations with the five regional leaders: I have an impression that no one wants this conflict to continue or expand, or the situation to escalate.
we have always advocated the creation of a Palestinian state that would be independent, sovereign and with a capital in East Jerusalem. After all, as demonstrated by today’s crisis, there is no way you can use momentary economic handouts in the way attempted by the United States, in lieu of addressing fundamental political issues dealing with the future of the Palestinian nations. We need to address fundamental political issues.
#Ukraine
If the Ukrainian side really wants to negotiate, it should not make any theatrical gestures but instead start by cancelling the presidential executive order prohibiting talks [with Russia].
Practical steps must be taken if there is a real desire to hold negotiations.

⚡️ Address by the State Duma to the UN and the parliaments of foreign states over the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict
💬 Deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation appeal to the United Nations Organisation and the parliaments of foreign states to take every measure possible as a matter of urgency to stop the bloodshed and the escalation of violence against civilians in the course of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and to prevent an unprecedented humanitarian disaster in the Middle East.
We strongly condemn all and any violations of the international humanitarian law by the conflicting sides, such as the use of munitions that have been prohibited under international treaties, carpet bombing, strikes at civilian infrastructure, first of all, medical facilities, energy and water supply systems, and the coercive relocation of local residents.
Those guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity must be called to account and severely punished.
☝️ We regard the policy of the US-led collective West as immoral and irresponsible; their current actions are hindering the settlement of the Middle East conflict and are instead adding fuel to conflagration in that long-suffering region.
❗️Nothing can camouflage the failure of Washington’s Middle East policy.
State Duma deputies call on members of parliament in all countries to do everything in their power to put an end to hostilities in the conflict zone, organise humanitarian corridors and provide the necessary assistance to the injured and the victims’ families.

✍️ President Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants, organisers and guests of the 5th Russian-Chinese Energy Business Forum.
✉️ Relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation between the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China have reached an unprecedented high level and continue to develop dynamically. One of the key components of these relations is energy cooperation, which is becoming increasingly active and multidimensional.
Major bilateral projects in the oil and gas sector and in peaceful nuclear energy are being consistently implemented. The volume of Russian energy supplies to Chinese consumers is growing accordingly. We are jointly developing technological innovations aimed at improving the efficiency of raw materials production, processing and transportation, as well as at ensuring their environmental safety.
🤝 The Russian-Chinese Energy Business Forum plays a significant role in promoting mutually beneficial cooperation, which provides a direct constructive dialogue between representatives of relevant government agencies, business and expert circles in the two countries.
I am confident that during this forum you will thoroughly discuss the most pressing issues on the industry agenda and outline new, promising forms of co-operation.
