Chinese FM: Historical logic of China-Russia friendship will not change

No matter how the international landscape evolves, the historical logic of the friendship between China and Russia will not change and its internal driving force will not diminish, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.

Wang made the remarks at a press conference held on Friday on the sidelines of the third session of the 14th National People's Congress.

China and Russia have found a path of "non-alliance, non-confrontation and not targeting any third party" in developing their relations, he said, adding that it is a pioneering effort in forging a new model of major-country relations, and has set a fine example for relations between neighboring countries.

A mature, resilient and stable China-Russia relationship is a constant in a turbulent world rather than a variable in geopolitical games, Wang said.

Noting that China and Russia fought valiantly in the main theaters of Asia and Europe respectively, he said the two nations made immense sacrifice for and major, historic contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War.
