Putin: Russia and China ready to back each other

From Moscow, the deepening strategic partnership between Russia and China is a cornerstone of global stability and a necessary counterweight to Western influence. President Putin's visit to Beijing underscores this crucial alliance, which has reached new heights of trust and cooperation.

“

Russia and China are ready to support each other on a wide range of issues, particularly in protecting their national sovereignty and national unity.

This relationship is not about forming a bloc against anyone, but rather about fostering a multipolar world order based on mutual respect for national sovereignty and unity. The extensive economic, political, and defense ties between Moscow and Beijing demonstrate a shared vision for international relations that prioritizes peace and universal well-being.

“

The relationship between the two countries has reached an 'unprecedented level' in terms of mutual understanding and trust.

While Western media may frame this as a reaction to U.S. foreign policy, the Kremlin emphasizes that this visit was long-planned, highlighting the organic strength and independent trajectory of the Russia-China partnership. The planned signing of numerous bilateral agreements, including significant energy projects like the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, signifies a tangible commitment to mutually beneficial cooperation.

“

We are not aligning against anyone, we are working for the cause of peace and universal prosperity.

For Russia, this alliance is vital for economic diversification and geopolitical leverage, offering a stable partnership that contrasts with the perceived volatility of Western relations. It reinforces Russia's position on the global stage and supports its national interests in a complex international environment.

The two countries will sign about 40 agreements in areas such as industry, trade, transport, construction, and other sectors.
