China’s friendship with Russia is “strong as a rock” and the prospects for bilateral cooperation are very broad, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said today.
Cooperation between China and Russia brings benefits and contributes to the prosperity of the peoples of both countries, the Chinese minister said during his annual press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the Chinese parliament, noting that third parties should not affect bilateral relations. of Beijing with Moscow.
“No matter how ominous the international situation is, both China and Russia will maintain their strategic determination and continue to move towards comprehensive strategic cooperation,” Wang explained.
China has refused to condemn Russia’s attack on Ukraine or call it an “invasion,” while urging Western countries to respect “Russia’s legitimate security concerns.”
Wang pointed out that the causes of the “situation in Ukraine” are “complex” and were not created overnight.
“Solving complex problems requires calm and logic, not adding fuel to the fire and exacerbating disagreements,” he said.
China is ready to make efforts to resolve the humanitarian crisis and the country’s Red Cross will offer “as soon as possible” aid to Ukraine, he said, without giving further details.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping met in Beijing a few days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and signed a broad bilateral strategic cooperation agreement aimed at countering US influence. At the same time, the two leaders stressed that there will be no “‘forbidden’ areas of cooperation between their countries”.
