Xi to Putin:
China and Russia have persisted in developing a comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era on the basis of equality, mutual respect, good faith, and win-win cooperation.
The political mutual trust between our two countries has continuously deepened. Cooperation in economy and trade, investment, energy, science and technology, culture and at the local level has been steadily moving forward. People-to-people bonds have become stronger.
China-Russia relations have entered a new stage with greater accomplishments and faster development. It is a strategic choice made by President Putin and me to unswervingly promote the long-term, healthy, stable, and high-quality development of China-Russia relations, in view of the fundamental interests of both countries and the general trend of world development.
