Beijing: China-Russia cooperation does not target any third party, nor will it be swayed by others

China News Service: Could you share the program of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin’s visit and China’s expectations for the visit? Wang Wenbin: We welcome Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin to visit China. During the visit, both sides will have an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral relations, practical cooperation and issues of mutual interest. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin will also travel to Shanghai besides Beijing. China and Russia are each other’s largest neighbors and major emerging markets, and the cooperation between the two countries boasts strong resilience, ample potential and wide space. In March this year, President Xi Jinping paid a successful state visit to Russia, and the two heads of state reached important common understandings on the growth of bilateral relations and cooperation in various fields. We hope that Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin’s visit will further enhance our cooperation, deepen cultural and people-to-people and sub-national exchanges, and give a strong boost to global economic recovery. Al Jazeera: The G7 this weekend is reportedly discussing additional sanctions on Russia. Next week Russian Prime Minister Mishustin is reportedly leading a delegation to China. Is this timing intentional? Does China hope to balance the actions of the G7 by increasing business relations with Russia? Wang Wenbin: China always opposes unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction that have no basis in international law or mandate from the Security Council. China has always carried out normal economic and trade cooperation with Russia and other countries on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. China-Russia cooperation does not target any third party and shall be free from disruption or coercion by any third party. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
