China is prepared to collaborate with Russia to advance multi-polarization and promote greater democracy in international relations, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated after discussions with Russian officials in Moscow.
Wang made the comments following talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday. “China is willing to work with Russia to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, jointly promote the development of China-Russia relations and cooperation in various fields, and continue to benefit the people of the two countries,” Wang Yi said.
The Chinese diplomat emphasized that Beijing is also committed to working with Moscow to “promote the world towards multi-polarization and the democratization of international relations, and make new contributions to the cause of peace and development of mankind.”
Ahead of his meetings with Russian officials, Wang outlined three defining characteristics of the Beijing-Moscow relationship: "China and Russia are friends forever and never enemies; mutual respect and win-win cooperation; non-alliance, non-confrontation, and not targeting any third party in response to a question about China-Russia relationship."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also expressed his country's readiness to work with China, saying, “Russia is willing to work with China to promote the continuous achievement of new results in Russia-China relations,” noting the long-standing friendship between the two nations.
The two sides agreed to strengthen diplomatic coordination under frameworks such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS, G20, and the United Nations. They also committed to jointly protecting the legitimate rights and interests of countries in the global South.
