Moscow, May 6 /Xinhua/ — The Russian-Chinese partnership is based on the commonality of the two countries’ fundamental interests, and the upcoming contacts between the leaders will contribute to the deepening and expansion of strategic cooperation between Russia and China, said Alexander Lomanov, deputy director of the Russian Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
“Our cooperation is based on the closeness of strategic interests between Russia and China. But the very good personal understanding between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping is also a good positive factor that contributes to the development of our cooperation based on common strategic goals, similar political ideals and coinciding economic interests,” A. Lomanov commented on the upcoming visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Moscow in an interview with Xinhua.
“I am confident that new agreements will be reached that will make Russian-Chinese cooperation even more successful, future-oriented, stable and not subject to negative influences from third countries, not subject to outside interference,” he added.
According to A. Lomanov, in the current extremely difficult situation, Russia and China have gone through many trials and have become convinced that they are capable of being reliable partners for each other in difficult situations.
“The mutual political trust between our countries is perhaps unprecedented for any major powers in the modern world. There is no closer connection and deeper understanding between any other major powers like that between Russia and China,” A. Lomanov emphasized. –0–
