On August 7, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov talked by telephone with member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister of China Wang Yi.
Sergey Lavrov congratulated his Chinese colleague on his recent appointment to the position of PRC Foreign Minister and wished him new successes in his position. The parties praised the progressive development of Russian-Chinese relations that show stability and positive dynamics amid general geopolitical instability in the world. They focused on the bilateral agenda including implementation of agreements reached at the highest political level.
The ministers discussed a number of current international issues, noting the general unacceptability of the Western bloc's confrontational policy towards Russia and China and its attempts to contain their development through sanctions and other illegitimate methods. They positively assessed the constructive dialogue between Moscow and Beijing and the high level of collaboration at the UN, BRICS, SCO, G20, and other international organisations.
They discussed a number of current regional issues, including the Ukraine crisis.
The meeting between the ministers once again confirmed that Moscow and Beijing have identical or largely concurring approaches towards international affairs. They reaffirmed their commitment to maintain close foreign policy coordination.
