Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi highlighted President Xi Jinping's recent state visit to Russia as a pivotal moment for strengthening bilateral cooperation and advancing global stability during a media briefing on Saturday. The visit, timed with celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War victory, underscored China and Russia's shared commitment to defending multilateralism and resisting geopolitical hegemony.
Wang emphasized that the trip—framed against a backdrop of shifting international dynamics—reflected the enduring friendship between the two nations and their resolve to uphold justice in global affairs. He described the visit as a "complete success" and a historic milestone in reinforcing the countries' comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era.
The landmark joint statement signed during Xi's visit outlines a roadmap for deepening coordination on economic development, security, and diplomacy. "This declaration provides new strategic direction for bilateral relations," Wang said, noting both nations pledged to prioritize each other as key partners and resist external attempts to undermine mutual trust.
Wang stressed that China-Russia collaboration, guided by the vision of both leaders, serves as a stabilizer for the global order. By opposing unilateralism and advocating for a "multipolar world," the partnership aims to counterbalance Western-dominated power structures while supporting shared development goals.
The foreign minister also linked the relationship to broader efforts to revitalize post-pandemic economies, positioning China and Russia as contributors to international stability. Analysts suggest the enhanced ties could reshape trade flows and investment patterns across Asia, with implications for global markets.
