Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, September 11 (Reporter Zhang Xiao and Bai Xueqi) On September 11 local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with reporters after speaking with the Foreign Minister. Russian Lavrov in Moscow.
Wang Yi said that after 70 years of trials and difficulties, Sino-Russian relations today have become more mature, stable and full of vitality. We commend the achievements of China-Russia relations and must think deeply about how to maintain, consolidate and develop China-Russia relations in the new situation. This is not only related to the development and revitalization of the two countries and the well-being of the people, it is also of exemplary importance globally. The two sides should strengthen cooperation in four areas:
One is to be in favor of international cooperation against the epidemic. In the current epidemic, the international community needs unity instead of self-care, collaboration instead of guilt. China and Russia are ready to work together with all parties to firmly support the World Health Organization, do a good job in standardizing epidemic prevention and control, and make vaccines a universally accessible global public product. We oppose the irresponsible actions of allowing the new corona virus to be one-handed and the “political virus” on the other, and to create a clean environment of public and political opinion for international cooperation against the epidemic.
The second is to be a model of harmonious coexistence of great countries. China and Russia are the largest countries in the world in terms of population and land area, and they are each other’s largest neighbors. The larger the size of the country, the greater the responsibility. The two sides will consider the implementation of the consensus of the two heads of state as their main task, continue to deepen mutual political trust and strategic cooperation, deepen the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union, and promote the “Belt and Road” and the “Greater Eurasian Partnership”. The proposals go hand in hand, they promote each other and are an example of cooperation between the great powers.
The third is to be a leader in cutting-edge technology. China and Russia have enormous complementary advantages and potential for cooperation in the development of science and technology. The two sides will seize the opportunity to celebrate the Year of Innovation in Science and Technology as an opportunity to vigorously cultivate and implement strategic projects, deepen cooperation in transforming scientific and technological achievements, promote two-way exchanges of talents and encourage enterprises. technology and the Internet to invest in each other’s countries for practical cooperation and livelihood of each country. Provide scientific and technological support.
The fourth is to be the guardian of international fairness and justice. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the victory of World War II and the founding of the United Nations. The international community is experiencing the historic test of multilateral and unilateral cooperation and confrontation. As permanent members of the UN Security Council and major emerging market countries, China and Russia are willing to work with the international community to firmly safeguard the central position of the United Nations in the international system, abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, reiterate its commitment to multilateralism and actively reform and improve the world. Governance system, advocate for the construction of an open world economy and join forces to build a community with a shared future for humanity.
