China News Service, Beijing, May 24 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on May 24.

  A reporter asked: According to reports, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said on the 23rd that Russia will continue to develop friendly relations with China.

Under the current background of hegemonism pursued by Western countries, Russia-China economic cooperation will achieve faster development.

The two countries jointly advocate the democratization of international relations and share broad common interests in safeguarding international fairness and justice and promoting world multi-polarization.

What is China's comment?

  Wang Wenbin: China appreciates Foreign Minister Lavrov's remarks.

  China and Russia are each other's largest neighbors, and are each other's most important close neighbors and comprehensive strategic partners of coordination.

China-Russia relations have withstood the new test of the changing international situation and have always maintained the right direction.

Sino-Russian cooperation has strong endogenous power and independent value. It is not aimed at third parties and will not be influenced by the outside world.

  As permanent members of the UN Security Council and important members of the BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, G20 and other multilateral mechanisms, China and Russia will continue to work to promote world multi-polarization and democratization of international relations, maintain genuine multilateralism, and oppose international Hegemonic behavior and alignment in relationships.
