On behalf of the Chinese government and people, President Xi Jinping said he is ready to join his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in consolidating political and strategic mutual trust, and expanding bilateral all-around pragmatic cooperation.

China seeks to promote international strategic coordination with Russia, and to work for new fruits in the development of bilateral ties, he said.

In his greetings to President of China Xi Jinping on the New Year and upcoming Spring Festival, the Russian President noted that 2017 has brought more success in Russian-Chinese relations, with substantial growth in mutual trade and dynamic exchanges in science and technology, and culture and the humanitarian sphere.

Vladimir Putin emphasised the fact that Moscow and Beijing cooperate extensively in global affairs and contribute greatly to solutions for current international problems. Interregional links are also intensifying, with the Years of Interregional Cooperation planned for 2018 and 2019. 

Moreover, the Russian President confirmed his willingness to further cooperate in expanding comprehensive trust-based partnership and strategic interaction between Russia and China for the benefit of the two neighbourly peoples./.
