Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Wednesday that China and Russia should drive the development and revitalisation of both countries through comprehensive strategic coordination of even higher quality.
Xi made the remarks during talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is on a state visit to China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the China-Russia strategic partnership of coordination and the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation between China and Russia, Xi noted.
"China-Russia relations have come this far step by step precisely because we have kept deepening political mutual trust and strategic coordination with unyielding tenacity, expanded cooperation with a drive to always scale new heights, and defended international justice and fairness and advanced the building of a community with a shared future for humanity with unflappable resolve," he said.
