The partnership between Moscow and Beijing are a stabilizing force in the world, the Russian leader said
The warm relations between Russia and China should not be viewed as a threat to any other country, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during his trip to Beijing on Thursday.
The Russian leader made his comments during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The trip is Putin’s first foreign visit since he was sworn in for his fifth presidential term this month.
“It is absolutely crucial that the Russian-Chinese relations are not ad hoc contacts and are not aimed against anyone,” Putin said.
“Our cooperation in world affairs is one of the main stabilizing factors on the international stage. Together, we defend the principles of fairness and the democratic world order based on the multipolar realities and international law.”
