Li Qiang said that over the past 75 years, China-Russia relations have withstood the test of international changes and have become stronger and more renewed. Under the strategic guidance of President Xi Jinping and President Putin, China-Russia relations in the new era have been rejuvenated with new vitality and vigor, the political mutual trust between the two countries has become stronger, cooperation in various fields has yielded fruitful results, friendly relations have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and international cooperation has been close and effective, setting an example for new international relations and relations between neighboring major countries.

Li Qiang pointed out that the two heads of state have met twice this year to make top-level design and strategic deployment for the new development of China-Russia relations at the new historical starting point of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. My visit to Russia this time is to implement the consensus of the two heads of state, continue the friendship from generation to generation, and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation. I believe that with the joint efforts of both sides, the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership of China-Russia in the new era will have a brighter future.
