The governments in Beijing and Moscow should elevate their engagement with one another so as to present a counterbalance to the West‘s domineering geopolitical posture, Russia‘s prime diplomat mentioned on Tuesday within the Chinese capital.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has proposed that the 2 powers mount a “dual opposition” to test the ambitions of the United States and its allies, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov mentioned at a news convention.
“Our leaders, President [Vladimir] Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, have repeatedly underscored the resolve on the part of Russia and China to counter attempts at putting brakes on efforts to build a multipolar world order,” Lavrov mentioned.
Lavrov, who has been Russia’s international minister for greater than 20 years, mentioned relations between China and Russia had been at an all-time excessive and that the 2 sides agreed to “launch a dialogue” on Eurasian safety points, with out elaborating.
Xi and Putin declared a “no limits” partnership shortly earlier than Russia invaded its neighbour Ukraine in February 2022. The Chinese management has not condemned the Russian battle in opposition to Ukraine, as a substitute blaming the battle on the West.
Lavrov thanked China for backing Putin in Russia‘s rubber-stamp election final month, which gave Putin one other six-year time period in energy.
