Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has shown a greater emphasis on cooperation with China as relations with the United States worsen.
However, he emphasized that there is no possibility of forming a military alliance with China, and it seems that Russia wants to avoid being directly involved in the conflict between the United States and China.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov responded to an interview on state television and the content was broadcast on the 1st.
Among them, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that it was a containment against China about the active movement over the Indo-Pacific region, such as the United States holding a summit meeting with Japan and other countries within the framework of four countries called "quads". He said, "We have not been called, and it has the same meaning for Russia," and warned that it was a move with Russia in mind.
He also evaluated the relationship with China as "the level of cooperation has risen qualitatively."
On the other hand, he said, "I don't think we will adjust the response to sanctions against China and Russia." No alliance is needed. "
Russia will place greater importance on cooperation with China as a strategic partner as relations with the United States worsen, but it seems that Russia wants to avoid being directly involved in the conflict between the United States and China.
