Moscow, December 19 (Xinhua) — Russian-Chinese relations are a significant factor in global stability and international stability. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this Friday during the "Year in Review" conference, answering questions from a Xinhua correspondent.
As Vladimir Putin noted, relations between Russia and China are developing consistently in a wide range of areas, with trade turnover between the two countries reaching approximately 250 billion US dollars.
It is important that relations between the two countries are actively developing and moving into the high-tech sphere, believes Vladimir Putin.
"What particularly pleases me is the development of high-tech manufacturing, science, education, humanitarian ties, and space exploration. We are cooperating, and this is an indicator of the trust between our countries and the level of that trust," the Russian leader stated.
The Russian President noted the fact that Russia and China regularly interact in the military sphere.
"We regularly interact in the military sphere, conducting joint exercises, strategic aviation patrols, at sea, and with the participation of ground forces," the Russian leader said.
“All of this suggests that our relations, as I have said many times and want to emphasize again, Russian-Chinese relations are a significant factor in stability in the world and on the international stage,” said Vladimir Putin.
"Our foreign ministries are in constant contact and coordinate our agendas. I hope that in this spirit, we will develop relations with our Chinese friends in the near and distant future," he added.
Vladimir Putin stated that he regards Chinese President Xi Jinping as a reliable friend and stable partner of the Russian Federation, emphasizing that “this is the most important foundation for the development of our Russian-Chinese relations.” –0–
