China News Service, Moscow, September 12 (Reporter Wang Xiujun) On September 11 local time, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi jointly met with reporters after talks with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov in Moscow.
Wang Yi said that after 70 years of trials and hardships, today's Sino-Russian relations have become more mature, stable and full of vitality.
We praise the achievements of China-Russia relations, and we must think deeply about how to maintain, consolidate, and develop China-Russia relations in the new situation.
This is not only related to the development and revitalization of the two countries and the well-being of the people, but also has global exemplary significance.
The two sides should strengthen cooperation in four areas:
One is to be a supporter of international anti-epidemic cooperation.
In the current epidemic, the international community needs unity instead of self-care, collaboration instead of blame.
China and Russia are willing to work together with all parties to firmly support the World Health Organization, do a good job in normalizing epidemic prevention and control, and make vaccines a universally accessible global public product.
We oppose the irresponsible actions of allowing the new crown virus to be one-handed and the "political virus" on the other hand, and create a clean political and public opinion environment for international anti-epidemic cooperation.
The second is to be a model of the harmonious coexistence of big countries.
China and Russia are the world's largest countries in terms of population and land area, and are each other's largest neighbors.
The larger the size of the country, the greater the responsibility.
The two sides will take the implementation of the consensus of the two heads of state as the core task, continue to deepen political mutual trust and strategic cooperation, deepen the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union, and promote the "Belt and Road" and the "Greater Eurasian Partnership". Proposals go hand in hand, promote each other, and set an example for cooperation among major powers.
The third is to be a leader in cutting-edge technology.
China and Russia have huge complementary advantages and potential for cooperation in the development of science and technology.
The two sides will take the opportunity of holding the Science and Technology Innovation Year as an opportunity to vigorously cultivate and implement strategic projects, deepen cooperation in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, promote two-way exchanges of talents, and encourage high-tech and Internet companies to invest in each other's countries for pragmatic cooperation and the livelihood of each country. Provide scientific and technological support.
The fourth is to be the guardian of international fairness and justice.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the victory of World War II and the founding of the United Nations. The international community is experiencing the historical test of multilateral and unilateral, cooperation and confrontation.
As permanent members of the UN Security Council and major emerging market countries, China and Russia are willing to work with the international community to firmly safeguard the core position of the United Nations in the international system, abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, reiterate its commitment to multilateralism, and actively reform and improve the world. Governance system, advocate the construction of an open world economy, and join hands to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
