Speaking during the “government hour” in the State Duma, Lavrov noted that Russia’s partnership with China plays a stabilizing role in world affairs.

“This year, my Chinese friends and I will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, which are now at the best level in their history,” Lavrov said, adding that the basis of this partnership is a confidential dialogue between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping.

Earlier it became known that Putin and Xi Jinping discussed the record growth of Russian-Chinese trade.
