China remains committed along with Russia to maintaining a positive trend in developing relations among the global powers, and together, both countries stand determined to move firmly toward establishing a multipolar world order, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday during a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.

"No matter how the international situation changes, China has been and remains committed, together with Russia, to making efforts to maintain the positive trends in the development of relations among the big powers," Wang said during talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.

"Despite the volatility of the international situation, China and Russia always maintain strategic determination, firmly and confidently move in line with the formation of a multipolar world," Wang added.

China's top diplomat also praised the leaders of the two countries for laying grounds for the comprehensive partnership between Beijing and Moscow.

"Thanks to the strategic direction of President Xi Jinping and President Putin, China-Russia relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation in the new era maintain a high dynamic of development," he added.

Wang also said he expects to reach grounds for new agreements with Lavrov over issues of mutual interests.

"I am ready to exchange views with you, my dear friend, on issues of mutual interest. And I expect [conditions for] new agreements."

On his part, Russia's top diplomat confirmed that the relations between the countries are steadily developing despite the unstable international situation, and stressed that both nations are ready to defend one another's interests under the umbrella of international law.

"Our relations are developing steadily and dynamically, and despite the high turbulence in the international arena, we demonstrate solidarity and readiness to defend each other's interests based on respect for international law and the central role of the UN," Lavrov said during talks with Chinese Central Foreign Affairs Office Director Wang Yi in Moscow.

Chinese-Russian relations 'rock solid'

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed earlier today during a meeting with Russia's security chief Nikolai Patrushev that the relations between Beijing and Moscow are "rock solid" and will not be affected by the unstable international circumstances, calling for deeper cooperation to fend off the Western campaign targeting both nations.

“Sino-Russian relations are mature and solid as a rock, and will withstand the test of the changing international situation,” Wang said.

“We are ready, together with the Russian side, in accordance with top-level agreements, to resolutely defend national interests and dignity, and promote mutually beneficial cooperation in all areas,” he added.

On his part, Russia's security chief Nikolai Patrushev said the West aims to subdue Russia, China, and other nations to maintain its global hegemony.

''The bloody events in Ukraine staged by the West are just one example of it,'' Patrushev said, adding, ''All that is being done against Russia and China and to the detriment of developing nations.''

"Amid a campaign by the West to deter both Russia and China, it is particularly important to further deepen the Russian-Chinese coordination and cooperation in the international arena," Patrushev stressed.

According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the two senior officials also “exchanged their opinions” on the Ukrainian issue and pledged to fight “the Cold War mentality, bloc confrontation and ideological opposition” and to “improve global governance."

The two nations will practice "true multilateralism, oppose all forms of unilateral bullying, and promote the democratization of international relations and the multi-polarization of the world," the Foreign Ministry added.

The Chinese diplomat's visit comes after US President Joe Biden made a surprise trip to Ukraine earlier on Monday, where he pledged $460 million in additional aid to Kiev.

Some background

Earlier last week, China said it will never accept that US "finger-pointing" target China-Russia relations and called on Washington to work toward a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis instead of deteriorating the situation.

"We never accept the US's finger-pointing or even coercion targeting China-Russia relations," said China's Foreign Ministry in a statement following a meeting between Wang and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference (MSC).

China's top diplomat landed in Moscow on Tuesday on his final stop, following a brief European tour during which he attended the MSC.
