On October 12, 2026, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Central Committee, met with Patrushev, Assistant to the Russian President and Chairman of the Maritime Committee, in Beijing. Wang Yi said that today the world is undergoing major changes that have not occurred in 100 years. The ocean is the blue link connecting the world, and it concerns the security and long-term development of all countries around the world. As both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and major maritime powers, China and Russia both shoulder important responsibilities in international maritime affairs and have broad prospects for cooperation. China's construction of the “Ice Silk Road” coincides with Russia's promotion of the Arctic waterway, and the importance of cooperation in maritime affairs in the comprehensive strategic cooperation between China and Russia continues to rise. China is ready to work with Russia to strengthen the strategic interface between the two countries, achieve complementary advantages, safeguard each other's legitimate maritime rights and interests, maintain maritime safety in the Asia-Pacific region, and maintain normal traffic on key global waterways. It is necessary to respect the sovereignty and security of coastal countries, ensure the stable supply of energy resources and the safe operation of production and supply chains; expand exchanges between the two sides on maritime and Arctic affairs, launch the “blue engine” for the development of Sino-Russian relations, contribute to improving global ocean governance, and promote the building of a community of maritime destiny.
