China Russia relations are in the best period in history and have become a major country relationship with the highest degree of mutual trust, cooperation and strategic value. The key lies in the strategic guidance of the two heads of state. Every step forward in China Russia relations is inseparable from the joint plan and personal promotion of the two heads of state: the joint statement on win-win cooperation and deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination was signed in 2013 and the joint statement on the new stage of the comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination was signed in 2014, *** The 20th anniversary of the signing of the Sino Russian Treaty of good neighborliness, friendship and cooperation in 2021. *** Adhering to the original intention of "friendship from generation to generation and win-win cooperation", the two heads of state officially announced the extension of the treaty and gave it a new connotation of the times.

Let's take a look at the shining report card of China Russia Cooperation - traditional and emerging fields go hand in hand, from energy to infrastructure, from communication to aerospace, cooperation "goes from heaven to earth" and goes to the "sea of stars" hand in hand. The quality and volume of cooperation have been improved simultaneously, and the cooperation is more pragmatic, grounded and beneficial to the people's livelihood. In 2021, the trade volume between China and Russia reached US $146.887 billion, a year-on-year increase of 35.8%, reaching a new record It is also a time to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future.

China and Russia have always kept in mind the responsibility of major countries, firmly demonstrated the responsibility of major countries, and become a model of major country relations. One belt, one road, one hegemony and the other is the power of the Chinese Communist Party. The United States is firmly committed to the international system of the United Nations and the international order based on international law. It is also a common force to promote the SCO and BRICs to play a constructive role. It will continue to promote the "one belt" approach and the Eurasian Economic Union, and will inject strong momentum into international cooperation. In the face of the sudden arrival of COVID-19, China and Russia are actively carrying out cooperation in anti epidemic, leading the world in the field of vaccine research and development and external supply, leading the international community to unite in the right direction and fight epidemic diseases. In response to the argument of politicizing the epidemic, President Putin made it clear that some people's attempt to discredit China on the source of the virus is unacceptable, and Russia is willing to continue to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with China in various fields such as anti epidemic. In the face of ideological disputes and social system antagonism provoked by some countries, China and Russia continue to pursue the "four mutual firm supports", jointly promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom for all mankind, actively explain the correct connotation of democracy and human rights on the international stage, and advocate the pluralistic and harmonious coexistence of different ethnic groups, different systems and different civilizations. The more turbulent the world is, the more we need the power to stabilize people's hearts; The more times of crisis, the more we need to inspire cooperation. The Beijing Winter Olympics is coming to the world. Let's look forward to the "Winter Olympics" and "Spring Festival" of the heads of state of China and Russia. As Russian ambassador to China Denisov said, this is "human unity"
