According to an official statement, the two sides held in-depth discussions and reached broad consensus on issues ranging from the macroeconomic situation and policy coordination to sub-national fiscal management, think tank exchanges, and joint engagement within the frameworks of the G20, BRICS, and other multilateral financial institutions.
Lan said China was willing to “conduct in-depth exchanges with Russia on the macroeconomic situation and policies of both countries, so as to promote and support each other’s development and rejuvenation, and inject stronger impetus into global development.”
He added that China is ready to advance financial and economic policy coordination with Russia “to achieve a higher level of mutual benefit and win-win outcomes,” while also working together to promote a fairer global economic governance system.
The minister underlined that China and Russia are key trading partners, expressing readiness to enhance cooperation in finance, taxation, securities, and insurance.

He further called for accelerating the establishment of a Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Development Bank.
