International relations today are complex. They did not improve after the collapse of the bipolar system – on the contrary, they became more acute, the Russian leader noted. “In this regard, cooperation in the international arena between the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation, as we have repeatedly stressed, is very important to stabilize the international situation,” he said.Putin recalled that Moscow and Beijing cooperate in various fields and on many international platforms. These are the UN, whose permanent members of the Security Council are the Russian Federation and China, the BRICS and the SCO. “We have a lot of work in common,” noted the Russian president.Wang Yi added that Russia and China “together uphold multipolarity and democratization of international relations, which fully meet the trends of the times and history, as well as the interests of most countries.” “We are ready, together with the Russian side, to show political determination, deepen political mutual trust, expand strategic cooperation and comprehensive practical interaction so as to play an even greater constructive role in guaranteeing the interests of our countries, as well as to promote the development of the whole world,” said the Chinese politician.He also conveyed greetings to Vladimir Putin from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
