China and Russia maintain close and good communication at all levels, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
In response to questions over the Wagner group incident over the weekend, Mao Ning, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, told a regular press briefing that the Wagner group incident is Russia's internal affair.
"As Russia's friendly neighbor and comprehensive strategic partner of coordination for the new era, China supports and believes Russia's ability to maintain national stability and achieve development and prosperity," said Mao.
In a statement issued Sunday night, the Chinese Foreign Ministry also stressed China's support for Russia's stability.
Moscow and Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner private military group, reached a compromise following mediation efforts by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko late Saturday. Prigozhin accepted Lukashenko's proposal to stop the advance of his troops and de-escalate the situation. Wagner was accused earlier of attempting to launch an armed rebellion on Friday night.
