On the morning of September 2, President Xi Jinping of China held talks with Russian President Putin at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Xi Jinping pointed out that the China-Russia relationship has withstood the test of international changes and has established a model of relations between major countries characterized by enduring friendship, comprehensive strategic cooperation, and mutually beneficial cooperation. Both sides have remained true to their original aspirations and maintained stability, achieving positive results in cooperation in various fields. China is willing to maintain close high-level exchanges with Russia, support each other's development and revitalization, coordinate positions in a timely manner on issues concerning core interests and major concerns of both countries, and promote greater development in China-Russia relations. Xi Jinping emphasized that both China and Russia have strong incentives for their respective development and revitalization, and the two sides should lead cooperation with major projects, create exemplary cooperation projects, and promote deep integration of interests. Both sides should enhance the resilience and tacit understanding of cooperation, consolidate and maintain the overall situation of cooperation. Xi Jinping pointed out that the heads of state of China and Russia have attended each other's commemorations of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War, fully demonstrating the responsibilities of major countries as the main victors of World War II and permanent members of the UN Security Council, and showing a firm determination to uphold the achievements of victory in World War II and defend the correct view of World War II history. My proposal for global governance is to work together with like-minded countries to steadfastly defend the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and promote the building of a more just and equitable global governance system. Both China and Russia emphasize sovereignty, equality, the rule of international law, and multilateralism. Both countries should continue to strengthen cooperation on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the BRICS countries, and the G20, and work together to promote the building of a community of shared future for mankind. Putin stated that under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, Russia-China relations have reached the highest level of strategic significance in history. President Xi Jinping visited Russia in May and attended the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War. I will attend the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression tomorrow, which demonstrates to the world the mutual support and cooperation between Russia and China in the World Anti-Fascist War, and the key role they played in the victory on the main battlefields in Europe and the East, as well as the firm commitment to defending historical truth and the achievements of victory in World War II. The cooperation and unity of Russia and China in the World Anti-Fascist War has also become a solid foundation for the development of Russia-China relations in the new era. Congratulations to China on the successful holding of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin, which has led to a number of consensus being reached and has effectively promoted the development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. President Xi Jinping's proposal for global governance is timely and necessary and will play an important role in addressing the deficit in global governance. Russia is willing to maintain strategic cooperation with China, strengthen high-level exchanges, enhance practical cooperation in various fields, and promote the continued high-level development of bilateral relations. The two leaders also exchanged in-depth views on international and regional issues of mutual concern. At noon that day, Xi Jinping had a small-scale tea meeting and banquet with Putin. The two sides signed more than 20 bilateral cooperation documents in the fields of energy, aerospace, artificial intelligence, agriculture, inspection and quarantine, health, scientific research, education, and media.
