Can China compensate for the losses caused by the U.S. trade friction through international platforms such as the BRICS and through economic cooperation with some partner countries, including Russia? Thank you.

Fu Ziying:

The comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Russia has set up a good framework for the cooperation and exchanges between the two countries.

The various dialogue mechanisms between the two sides have seen smooth and effective progress. Especially at the recent 18th SCO Qingdao Summit, the leaders of the participating countries reached a broad consensus on future development. China and Russia have solid foundation of political mutual trust and strong complementarity.

Under such circumstances, the cooperation and exchanges between the two sides serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples. Under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, we can overcome obstacles and further develop the China-Russian relationship in a more healthy and stable way. Thank you.
