Wang Yi, China’s foreign minister, has stated that he supports Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“No matter how treacherous the international storm is, China and Russia will maintain their strategic determination.
“And will push forward the comprehensive strategic partnership in the new era,” Wang said on Monday, responding to a question about the West’s sanctioning of Moscow for the invasion.
China and Russia are close neighbors and strategic allies, according to Wang, who calls their connection “one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world.”
He claimed that cooperation benefited not just the peoples of both countries, but also the world’s peace, stability, and progress.
“Both countries rejected the revival of a Cold War mentality, as well as ideological confrontation.
“They are committed to the democratisation of international relations,” Wang said at a press conference to mark the annual session of the Chinese People’s Congress in Beijing.
