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 overseas minister for greater than 20 years, mentioned relations between China and Russia have 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 struggle towards Ukraine, as an alternative 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.
