Lavrov: China-Russia Ties At Strongest Level Ever

CHINA-RUSSIA

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated that Russia-China ties are 'at their strongest level ever'. Lavrov is talking on topic of international affairs to Serbian media.

  • Lavrov: "We have historic-best relations with China, and we have partnerships with India, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa."
  • West seeking to encourage China to take a more neutral stance on Russia and not to provide military or other assistance. Last week, UK PM Boris Johnson spoke with President Xi Jinping for an hour on the issue of the Ukraine crisis.
  • At present, Beijing appears to be biding its time before making a decision one way or the other. While the lack of rapid progress in Russian invasion of Ukraine may have caught China off-guard, among 'Wolf warriors' and foreign policy hawks in Beijing there is still significant pressure to side with President Vladimir Putin's Russia in a greater existential contest against the US-led West.
  • Speaking to Serbian media, Lavrov also states that any in-person meeting between President Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky would be 'counter-productive'.
