Russian President Vladimir Putin's two-day whirlwind state visit to China concluded on Wednesday night. Although brief, it was highly productive, with analysts impressed by the results, including two joint statements and a long list of outcomes.
In particular, the two statements — one about international relations and the other about bilateral cooperation — are constructive contributions to global peace and growth, as both nations strive to inject stability into a world plagued by turmoil, analysts said.
On Wednesday, following talks between Putin and President Xi Jinping in Beijing, the two heads of state signed and issued a joint statement on further strengthening comprehensive strategic coordination and deepening good-neighborliness and friendly cooperation.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation.
In the statement, the two leaders agreed to further extend the treaty and pledged future joint efforts in various fields.
