The relationship between China and Russia has grown stronger over the past 75 years, evolving from a strategic partnership to a comprehensive, multi-level collaboration across politics, economics and culture.

With bilateral trade reaching $240 billion in 2023, up 26.3 percent from the previous year, economic cooperation has been a major cornerstone of their ties.

Cultural exchanges have been another important facet of the partnership. Over the past two decades, China and Russia have held thematic years focused on youth, media, science and sports, deepening understanding between the two peoples.
