At noon on May 8 local time, President Xi Jinping and Russian President Putin met with reporters together after talks in the Kremlin in Moscow.
Xi Jinping pointed out that just now, I held in-depth friendly and fruitful talks with President Putin and reached many new important consensuses. We jointly signed the "Joint Statement of the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation on Further Deepening the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Partnership between China and Russia on the New Era on the Commemorating the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Victory of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union and the 80th Anniversary of the Founding of the United Nations", witnessing the exchange of multiple cooperation texts by the relevant departments of the two countries, injecting new impetus into the development of China-Russia relations.
Xi Jinping stressed that Russia is the country that I have visited the most as President of the People's Republic of China, and this is the eleventh time I have come to Russia. Tomorrow, I will attend the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, which will also be my second time to attend this grand commemorative event after 10 years. The past 10 years have been 10 years of great turbulence and great changes in the international situation, and also 10 years of great development and leap forward in Sino-Russia relations. We have witnessed the continuous consolidation and deepening of political mutual trust between China and Russia, and have witnessed the "seeds blossoming" in various fields of cooperation between the two countries. Faced with changes in the world, the times and the historical changes, China and Russia must firmly grasp the direction of bilateral relations and the general trend of human social development, take responsibility, and work comprehensively to make new and greater contributions to promoting the development and revitalization of the two countries and safeguarding international fairness and justice.
We must adhere to generational friendship and be true friends who have been tempered into steel. 80 years ago, facing the clutches of militarism and Nazism, the military and civilians of China and Russia shared the same hatred and fought side by side, writing a magnificent and heroic historical chapter. The great friendship formed by the tempering of blood and fire between the two peoples has laid a solid foundation for the high-level development of bilateral relations. China and Russia should deepen mutual political trust, strengthen strategic cooperation, and promote bilateral relations toward a more mature and tenacious tomorrow.
We must adhere to mutual benefit and win-win results and be good partners for each other's achievements. From overcoming difficulties and obstacles during World War II to sending each other a large number of urgently needed materials, bilateral trade volume has hit new highs now, the "high-speed train" of mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Russia has crossed mountains and climbed hills and hurdles, and has passed an extraordinary journey. China and Russia should continue to deepen practical cooperation in various fields, consolidate the material foundation of comprehensive strategic cooperation, continuously benefit the people of both countries, and inject stronger momentum into global development.
We must uphold fairness and justice and be defenders of the international order. As the main battlefields of Asia and Europe in World War II, China and Russia made decisive contributions to the victory of the world anti-fascist war and laid the foundation for the establishment of the post-war international order. As a stable, positive and progressive force of the international community, China and Russia must continue to stand firmly together, resolutely safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, and continue to promote an equal and orderly world multipolarization.
We must adhere to unity and be the leader in global governance. The future and destiny of the world should be jointly controlled by all countries, and the achievements of global development should be shared by all countries. China and Russia are both world powers and important emerging market countries, and both shoulder the lofty mission of promoting global governance in a more just and reasonable direction. The two sides should strengthen cooperation on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the BRICS countries, adhere to true multilateralism, lead the correct direction of global governance, and promote inclusive and inclusive economic globalization.
Xi Jinping stressed that in the face of the international situation of chaos and intertwining, China and Russia must firmly uphold the spirit of permanent good-neighborliness and friendship, comprehensive strategic cooperation, and win-win cooperation, cross the wind and rain, and cross the mountains and rivers together, comprehensively enhance the height, dimension and resilience of China-Russia relations, inject more stability into world peace and security, and provide stronger driving force for global development and prosperity.
