On the morning of May 16, President Xi Jinping held large-scale talks at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was in China for a state visit.
Xi Jinping pointed out that he once again extended his warm welcome to President Putin for his state visit to China. This is your first overseas trip since you started your new presidential term, which fully demonstrates that you and the Russian government attach great importance to the development of China-Russia relations, and China speaks highly of this.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia. It is an important milestone year in the history of the development of China-Russia relations. Over the past 75 years, China and Russia have joined hands to forge a new path of mutual respect, harmonious coexistence, and win-win cooperation between major countries and neighboring countries. With the joint efforts of both sides, China-Russia relations have always been developing steadily. The comprehensive strategic coordination between the two countries has been continuously strengthened. Cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, investment, energy, people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and local affairs has continued to advance, making contributions to maintaining global strategic stability and promoting the democratization of international relations. made a positive contribution.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. China is comprehensively promoting Chinese-style modernization with high-quality development, accelerating the development of new productive forces, and adding new momentum to global economic growth. China and Russia are both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and major emerging market countries. It is the common strategic choice of both countries to increase the depth of strategic cooperation, expand the dimensions of mutually beneficial cooperation, and conform to the historical trend of world multipolarity and economic globalization. The two sides should take the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations as a new starting point to further strengthen the alignment of development strategies, continue to enrich the connotation of bilateral cooperation, and better benefit the two countries and their peoples. I am willing to work with Mr. President to jointly steer the direction of bilateral relations and make new plans and arrangements for the development of cooperation between the two countries in various fields.
