Moscow, December 10 (Xinhua) – Russian-Chinese relations serve as a significant stabilizing factor on the international stage, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated during government hour in the Federation Council.

"Today, the diplomatic tandem between Moscow and Beijing is a significant factor in global strategic stability and the sustainability of the emerging multipolar world," Lavrov emphasized. The minister noted the "special significance" of Russian-Chinese relations as a comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction.

"It's hard to overestimate the value of trusting dialogue at the highest level—what our Chinese friends call leaders' diplomacy," the Russian Foreign Minister said. He recalled the mutual visits between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin and noted the symbolism of the joint celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory over German Nazism and Japanese militarism.

Sergey Lavrov also explained why the West has now declared China its main threat and competitor. According to him, China accepted the rules of globalization and began to refine its mechanisms for more effective participation in global processes. Ultimately, it outplayed those who invented this globalization—the Americans, first and foremost—by their rules, on their turf.
