Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met here Monday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on bilateral ties and BRICS cooperation.
Noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent visit to China was a great success, Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said both sides should fully implement the important consensus reached by the top leaders of the two countries and advance cooperation in various fields under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state.
Developing China-Russia relations is a strategic choice made by both sides based on respective fundamental interests, aligning with global trends and the tide of the times, Wang said, adding that it is not targeted at any third party and will not be disturbed by external forces.
China is willing to work with Russia to maintain strategic focus, explore cooperation potential, respond to external pressures, and promote the sound and sustained progress of bilateral relations, he said.
Calling BRICS an important platform for unity and cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries, Wang said the expanded BRICS mechanism will play a crucial role in creating a more just and reasonable global governance system.
