On the evening of September 2, local time, Ding Xuexiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Vladivostok. Ding Xuexiang first conveyed President Xi Jinping's cordial greetings to President Putin. Ding Xuexiang said that under the strategic guidance of President Xi Jinping and President Putin, the comprehensive strategic cooperation partnership between China and Russia in the new era continues to deepen and become more practical. The key reason why Sino-Russian relations are unbreakable in the turbulent and intertwined international situation is that the two heads of state take the helm. On August 31, President Xi Jinping and President Putin met again during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Bishkek to reach a new important consensus on the development of bilateral relations and practical cooperation between the two countries. China is ready to work with Russia to implement the important consensus reached by the heads of state of the two countries, take solid measures to deepen the integration of interests between the two sides, strengthen cooperation in key areas such as investment and energy, and continuously build a foundation for the higher quality development of Sino-Russian relations. Ding Xuexiang pointed out that the Oriental Economic Forum is an important platform for countries in the Asia-Pacific region to forge consensus on cooperation. The theme of this year's forum is “Far East - Development for the People”. Both the Chinese and Russian governments have taken the benefit of the people as their greatest political achievement, and have always made maintaining the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples and enhancing the welfare of all humankind a lofty pursuit. The Russian Far East is bursting with vitality, and opportunities are constantly emerging. There are broad prospects and great potential for strengthening development cooperation between China and Russia in the Far East. The two sides should continue to make good use of the “Northeast - Far East” cooperation mechanism and related policy support, strengthen the interface between the revitalization of Northeast China and the development strategy of Russia's Far East, continue to expand the space for win-win development, further enhance the scale and level of cooperation, so that mutually beneficial and win-win results can benefit the peoples of the two countries more and better. Putin asked Ding Xuexiang to convey sincere greetings to President Xi Jinping and welcome Ding Xuexiang to Russia to attend the 11th Eastern Economic Forum. Putin said that a few days ago, I met with President Xi Jinping during the SCO summit and had in-depth exchanges on cooperation in important fields, which once again demonstrated the leading role of the head of state diplomacy in bilateral relations. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Russian-Chinese Treaty of Good-Neighbourly Friendship and Cooperation. Thanks to the joint efforts of the two countries, Russian-Chinese relations have reached an unprecedented level, and cooperation in various fields has made positive progress. Russia is willing to strengthen strategic coordination and cooperation with China to push bilateral relations to a higher level.
