China is ready to cooperate with Russia to further expand trade and investment, deepen practical cooperation in the energy sector, promote relevant projects and mutually support development and national revival, the Vice Premier added.
Against the backdrop of profound changes in the international situation, China and Russia should maintain comprehensive strategic coordination, uphold international fairness, support the multilateral trading system with the WTO at its core, jointly safeguard supply chain stability, and deepen multilateral cooperation through mechanisms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS, so as to promote the building of an equitable and orderly multipolar world as well as win-win and inclusive economic globalization.
In turn, V. Putin noted that despite external difficulties and challenges, Russian-Chinese relations have received comprehensive development and reached an unprecedented high level.
He expressed Russia’s readiness to further strengthen practical cooperation with China and work together to create a better future for both countries and the entire world.
In conclusion, the Russian President stressed that he was looking forward to visiting China to participate in the SCO summit in Tianjin and the commemorative events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. –0–
