China has said that its relations with Russia are entering a phase of “new historical opportunities” and reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation across multiple sectors, while jointly pushing for a more “just and reasonable” global governance system.
According to China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun, Beijing remains ready to expand collaboration with Moscow in various fields, reflecting what officials describe as an evolving strategic partnership between the two Eurasian powers.
Guo made the remarks during a regular press briefing in Beijing on Monday when asked to respond to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent comments on Russia China strategic coordination following the May 9 Victory Day celebrations in Moscow.
The spokesperson stressed that China and Russia continue to maintain close communication and coordination on international and regional issues, particularly at a time of increasing geopolitical tensions and global realignments.
“The development of China Russia relations embraces new historical opportunities,” Guo said, adding that both countries are committed to promoting a global governance framework that better reflects developing nations’ interests.
Analysts view the statement as part of an ongoing diplomatic alignment between Beijing and Moscow, which has strengthened in recent years amid Western sanctions on Russia and intensifying strategic competition between major global powers.
China has repeatedly emphasized that its relationship with Russia is based on non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of third parties, while expanding cooperation in energy, trade, infrastructure, and multilateral platforms.
The latest remarks come as both countries continue to deepen coordination within forums such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and BRICS, where they advocate reforms in global financial and security institutions.
