Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on Wednesday to continue the extension of the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation.

President Xi noted that China and Russia signed the treaty 25 years ago, establishing by law the institutional foundation of long-term good neighborliness, friendship and comprehensive strategic coordination. Since then, the bilateral relationship has achieved leapfrog development, he added.

Xi said that the international landscape is undergoing momentous changes, and the world risks returning to the law of the jungle. Against this backdrop, the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation has further proven to be advanced, scientific and relevant, he said.

China supports the further extension of the treaty, Xi said, adding that China will work with Russia to jointly honor the spirit of the treaty and firmly advance the China-Russia back-to-back strategic coordination.
