Beijing's ties with Moscow are 'solid as a rock,' China's top diplomat Wang Yi said during his visit to Russia days before the one-year anniversary of President Vladimir Putin's bloody invasion of Ukraine.
China’s top diplomat Wang Yi on Wednesday said he expects to reach a “new consensus” on advancing bilateral relations with Russia as he visited Moscow just days before the first anniversary of the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. “Today I am willing to further exchange views with you, my old friend, on the advancement of our mutual relationship, and I think we will definitely reach new consensus,” Wang told Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during their meeting Wednesday.
A readout from China’s Foreign Ministry said the two officials agreed to oppose “the Cold War mentality, bloc confrontation and ideological opposition” — a thinly veiled criticism of the US — and to make more efforts to “improve global governance,” in an apparent reference to Beijing and Moscow’s ambitions to reshape the global order in their favor. Wang and Patrushev also “exchanged their opinions” on the issue of Ukraine, the statement added, without offering details.
