Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping reaffirmed their strategic partnership during WWII victory celebrations in Moscow, emphasizing unity against neo-Nazism and unilateral global actions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed gratitude to Chinese President Xi Jinping for attending ceremonies commemorating the 80th anniversary of victory in World War Two, highlighting a shared commitment to historical memory and contemporary geopolitical alignment.
Putin referred to the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany as "sacred" and said the presence of China’s leader at the events underlined the strength of the bilateral relationship. He emphasized that Russia and China are united in their efforts to preserve the historical truth and to counter current forms of neo-Nazism and militarism.
“The victory over fascism, achieved through immense sacrifice, carries enduring importance,” Putin told Xi on Thursday. “Together with our Chinese friends, we safeguard historical truth and oppose modern expressions of neo-Nazism.”
Xi, in turn, reaffirmed that China and Russia - both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council - will continue to oppose unilateralism.
He added that both countries are committed to promoting a shared understanding of World War Two, defending the UN’s authority, and advocating for a multipolar world and more inclusive global economic order.
Xi’s visit is expected to result in new bilateral agreements deepening the "no limits" partnership declared by Russia and China in early 2022. China, now Russia’s top trading partner, has provided economic support by increasing imports of Russian oil and gas, helping Moscow mitigate the impact of Western sanctions.
