- Putin informed Wang Yi that Russian-Chinese relations are developing.
- And that cooperation in the international arena is essential for stabilizing the situation.
- China has asserted its neutrality over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin informed top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi that Beijing and Moscow are “reaching new milestones.”
“Russian-Chinese relations are developing as we planned in previous years. Everything is moving forward and developing, and we are reaching new milestones,” Putin said during a meeting at the Kremlin.
The Russian leader added: “International relations today are complex, they have not improved after the collapse of the bipolar system. On the contrary, they have become more tense.”
Talking about trade, Putin said that “cooperation in the international arena between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, as we have repeatedly said, is very important for stabilizing the international situation.”
The West has closely followed Wang’s visit to Moscow amid worries that the two countries’ continued closeness may have an impact on the Ukrainian War, which is getting close to its one-year anniversary.
China has asserted its neutrality over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but it has declined to express its disapproval and has repeated Kremlin talking points that NATO is to blame for starting the conflict.
