A mature, resilient and stable China-Russia relationship will not be swayed by any turn of events, let alone be subject to interference by any third party, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Friday.
The relationship is "a constant in a turbulent world rather than a variable in geopolitical games," Wang told a press conference held on the sidelines of the ongoing session of the national legislature.
No matter how the international landscape evolves, the historical logic of China-Russia friendship will not change and its internal driving force will not diminish, he said.
The two countries have found a path of "non-alliance, non-confrontation and not targeting any third party" in developing their relations, Wang said, adding that it is a pioneering effort in forging a new model of major-country relations, and has set a fine example for relations between neighboring countries.
Last year marked the 75th anniversary of China-Russia diplomatic ties. President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin had three face-to-face meetings, jointly steering the Russia-China comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era into a new historical stage, Wang said.
This year will be the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II. Back then, China and Russia fought valiantly in the main theaters of Asia and Europe respectively. The two nations made immense sacrifice for and major, historic contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, he said.
"The two sides will take the opportunity of joint commemoration of this important historical milestone to advocate the correct historical view of World War II, defend its victorious outcomes, uphold the U.N.-centered international system, and promote a more just and equitable international order," he said.
