"Cooperation and coordination between China and Russia are needed to maintain the international balance of power and preserve the post-war world order. The participation of the leaders of the two countries in mutual events dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Victory in World War II indicates that Russia and China, as the largest countries in the world and members of the United Nations, intend to maintain international order."
It is expected that during Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow, Russia and China will sign a number of agreements in the energy, aviation, space and finance sectors. In addition, Moscow and Beijing will discuss possibilities of further cooperation, including the Silk Road project.
Cheng Guoping added that a "good working relationship" and "personal friendship" between President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin are "an important political basis for bilateral relations."
