MOSCOW: The Russian President spoke with the Chinese Foreign Minister after a meeting with representatives of the BRICS countries in charge of security issues

Russia and China jointly defend the principles of a just world order, and relations between the countries have been built on equality and mutual benefit for many years. These postulates became the leitmotif of a conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

Vladimir Putin held talks with the Chinese Foreign Minister after a meeting with representatives of the BRICS countries in charge of security issues.
- Russia and China jointly defend the principles of a just democratic world order based on international law, sovereignty, and equality. The same approach is supported by like-minded people from among the countries of the Global South, the world majority, which could be seen once again at the BRICS summit," Vladimir Putin told the guest.

The Russian President recalled that October 2 will mark 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties between Russia and China, and relations between the two countries are developing successfully in all directions.

"We have just discussed this with our colleagues dealing with security issues. We will hold BRICS Outreach and BRICS+ meetings. Many countries share our approaches to the world order. They are eager to become members of our organization and to cooperate with it. We will do everything to prepare relevant decisions on the basis of consensus, customary in our relations," the Russian leader said.

- This concerns the coordination of our work in the international arena. This concerns issues related to economic, cultural, and humanitarian cooperation. All this remains on our agenda and will also be the subject of our discussions with the President of the People's Republic of China during the multilateral and bilateral meeting with the President of the People's Republic of China in Kazan (at the BRICS summit. – Ed.), - Putin noted.

Wang Yi conveyed warm greetings and wishes from Chinese President Xi Jinping to the Russian leader.

- Under your leadership, the high dynamics of Sino-Russian relations is constantly maintained, as a result of which China and Russia are the most important factor in strengthening multilateralism in the world, - said the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
