China and Russia have agreed to fully implement the key consensus reached between their leaders on strategic security and push bilateral strategic coordination to a higher level. The decision came during a meeting between Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, and Sergei Shoigu, secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
Co-chairing the 20th round of China-Russia strategic security consultation, Wang and Shoigu held extensive discussions on major issues concerning the strategic security interests of both countries, building new consensus and further strengthening mutual trust.
Wang highlighted that China-Russia relations have continued to progress this year, marked by two meetings between President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin—one in Moscow and another in Beijing—which provided direction for stable bilateral ties amid a complex global environment.
Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the China-Russia strategic partnership of coordination and the 25th anniversary of the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation, a key milestone in their evolving relationship. Wang emphasized the need to reinforce strategic trust, deepen friendly relations, and expand mutually beneficial cooperation to support economic development and national rejuvenation, as well as jointly address emerging global challenges and safeguard international fairness, justice, and stability.
