Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and visiting Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo held talks in Moscow on Monday, discussing prospects for the development of cooperation between the two countries.
The Russian president said the Sino-Russian strategic partnership of coordination is developing further in all aspects, as the leaders of the two nations kept close contact during last year and cooperation in the economic and trade sphere has been deepened.
Russia sees China as its closest partner, a position that will never be changed, Medvedev stressed.
Russia is willing to work together with China to promote all-around cooperation and coordination on international and regional issues, Medvedev said.
He said the strategic security talks between Russia and China, a major goal of Dai's current visit, have served as an important channel for bilateral coordination and exchanges, and played a pivotal role in enhancing bilateral strategic mutual trust.
Dai Bingguo, who arrived in Moscow Sunday for a three-day visit, said that the first ten years of the 21st century had been important for Sino-Russian relations.
China attaches great importance to the strategic coordination with Russia and is willing to work with Russia to develop their strategic partnership of coordination at a higher stage, the Chinese state councilor said.
