“There is no doubt that cooperation between the two countries in the fight against the virus will give a strong impetus to strengthen bilateral cooperation between Russia and China,” TASS quoted him as saying.

According to him, "China is working with Russia to turn the crisis into opportunities."

In April, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov discussed with the Chinese Foreign Minister the cooperation of the two countries in combating the spread of coronavirus.

Also last month, medical experts from China came to Russia to assist in the fight against coronavirus.
