Moscow, February 4 (Xinhua) – Russia and China are consistently strengthening their foreign policy coordination and acting as a stabilizing factor in global and regional affairs, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in response to a Xinhua reporter's question on Wednesday.
"Let me remind you of what I believe is well known in China and throughout the world: Russia and China, in line with the guidelines of the two countries' leaders, are consistently strengthening foreign policy coordination, which is a crucial component of the Russian-Chinese comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction, and acts as a stabilizing factor in global and regional affairs," the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted.
Commenting on the recent visit of Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu to China, during which he confirmed that Russia resolutely opposes Japan's attempts to accelerate its remilitarization, M. Zakharova noted the similarity between Moscow and Beijing's assessments on this issue.
"We have repeatedly stated that Japan is moving toward remilitarization. Our Chinese friends share this assessment and are very concerned about the current policies of the Takaichi cabinet, including regarding Taiwan," the diplomat noted.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry assured that Moscow will continue to closely monitor the situation. "We reserve the right to take the necessary measures to prevent damage to Russian interests and security in the Asia-Pacific region," M. Zakharova emphasized.
