Russian chief justice Igor Krasnov travelled to Beijing on Wednesday for talks with his Chinese counterpart, Zhang Jun. The visit culminated in the signing of an updated Cooperation Agreement, elevating the judicial and legal partnership between the two nations to a qualitatively new level.
During the trip, Krasnov highlighted the very high level of cooperation in trade, economic and technology partnership between Russia and China, which requires firm legal guarantees for the swift and fair protection of the rights of businesses and citizens in both countries.
The updated agreement enshrines the principles of sovereign equality, the importance of protecting “human rights and the right to a fair trial,” and signals a joint commitment to the uniform interpretation of international treaties which both countries are a party to.
The judicial and legal partnership, a vital factor for stable development and the protection of shared interests, was characterized as the next logical step in implementing the strategic course for cooperation set by presidents Putin and Xi.

Practical Areas of Cooperation Include:

Reciprocal visits by judges and legal specialists to exchange best practices
Joint work in the scientific and educational spheres
Sharing experience regarding the “digital transformation” of the justice system
Integration of AI into judicial proceedings, an area both countries are heavily invested in
Chief justice Zhang Jun has been invited to pay a reciprocal visit to Moscow, and development of a cooperation program for the years 2027-2028 has already been proposed.
