Fu Cong stressed that China and Russia are each other’s biggest neighbours. The development of long-term good neighbourly and friendly relations between the two countries is consistent with history and current logic, the interests of the peoples of both sides and the expectations of the international community.

“First of all, the European side must correctly assess the Chinese-Russian relations which meet the principles of non-alignment, non-confrontation and non-targeting of third parties, as well as mutual respect and trust,” the diplomat said.

He also drew attention to the fact that China has always advocated the development of friendly and co-operative relations with other countries based on the five principles of peaceful coexistence.

“We have also always believed that friendship and co-operation among countries are endless and should not be artificially limited. Sino-Russian co-operation is ‘unlimited’, and the same is true for China and Europe. At the same time, we must also be vigilant about attempts to use Sino-Russian relations to sow discord between China and the EU,” Fu Cong said.
