Xi Jinping said that the current level of relations between Russia and China was not easy

He wrote about this in an article for RIA Novosti and Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

"Sino-Russian relations have passed a very difficult path. Looking back at the past, we are deeply aware that the current level of Chinese-Russian relations was not easy, it is necessary to carefully preserve the unfading friendship, "the Chinese leader emphasized.

Xi Jinping noted that in the context of global turbulence, interstate relations have withstood the test of strength due to the fact that Russia and China have embarked on the path of establishing international relations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier that relations between Moscow and Beijing surpass the military-political alliances of the Cold War.

In addition, Putin called relations between Russia and China the cornerstone of global and regional stability.
