SINGAPORE, Aug. 3, 2018 (BSS/XINHUA) – Chinese State Councilor and Foreign
Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday that China and Russia should make concerted
efforts to push forward the China-Russia all-around strategic cooperation.
He made the remarks while meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov on the sidelines of the ASEAN foreign ministers’ meeting and related
meetings.
Wang noted that Chinese and Russian leaders reached new important
consensus during their meeting in South Africa, adding that this has
demonstrated the fact China and Russia are each other’s key strategic
partners.
Noting that there are a series of high-level visits between China and
Russia scheduled for this year, Lavrov said Russia expects to work together
with China to ensure the meetings a success, and is determined to strengthen
strategic dialogue and coordination with China on major international issues.
They also exchanged views on issues of common concern.
