China’s Foreign Ministry declared on Tuesday that despite changes in the world scene, China continues to strengthen strategic cooperation with Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a meeting with the Russian ambassador to China, Andrey Denisov, China’s Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng voiced this perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Regardless of how the international landscape changes, China and Russia will continue to strengthen strategic coordination to achieve win-win cooperation, jointly safeguard our common interests, and promote the development of a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind,” Le said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As evidence of this, Le cites a 30 percent increase in trade between the two countries in the first quarter of this year, reaching $38.2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also talked about the Ukraine crisis, as well as other foreign concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Previously, Chinese officials were silent on the Ukraine conflict, neither condemning nor condoning Russia’s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to the invasion, both countries declared their unbreakable bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
