Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an article for China’s People’s Daily newspaper, said that Moscow and Beijing are literally and figuratively building bridges, unlike some Western countries which claim hegemony and introduce discord into global harmony .
“So, last year, our border regions were connected by two bridges over the Amur, which has long since become a ‘river of friendship,'” the Russian leader said in a publication.
The head of state also added that the Russian Federation and China closely cooperate in international affairs, effectively coordinate foreign policy positions, also fight against common threats and respond to modern challenges. In addition, Vladimir Putin pointed out that countries are actively promoting democratic multilateral structures such as the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) and BRICS (an alliance of five states: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) , which, according to the President of the Russian Federation, are becoming increasingly authoritarian and influential.
The Russian president’s article also notes that Moscow and Beijing “advocate the formation of a more just multipolar world order”, based on the principles of international law, not on ideas aimed at meeting the needs of the “golden billion”.
Also, in an article in the Chinese edition, Vladimir Putin said that Moscow is ready to resolve the Ukrainian conflict through diplomatic negotiations. However, last year they were arrested, and not at the initiative of the Russian side. The Russian leader also regretted that the ultimatum demands addressed to Moscow speak only of the West’s isolation from current geopolitical realities and disinterest in finding a way out of the current situation.
