China, Russia are like-minded partners treating each other with sincerity, trust
By Zhao Jiaming
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday addressed the plenary
session of the 23rd St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) held in
Russia. The organizing committee said Xi’s attendance made the forum
full-housed.
“Sustainable development is the ‘golden key’ to solving global
problems,” Xi expounded on the realistic significance of sustainable growth to
today’s world, as well as China’s proposals on intensified international
cooperation.
Calling for the building of partnership of global
connectivity, and alignment of co-construction of Belt and Road Initiative with
Eurasian Economic Union, Xi also said China is willing to share with the rest
of the world its latest research and development results including the 5G
technology.
Xi’s proposals also underline China’s sense of responsibility
to integrate its own development into the global growth and to seek all-shared
benefits through sound interactions. Xi’s answers to the questions raised by
the host also won him rounds of applause.
Xi’s attendance of the forum made headlines and live updates
of Russian media, who believed the significance is so great that it endows the
SPIEF with special position.
About 17,000 guests attended the forum, among which China
contributed the biggest delegation, said Russia’s TV report, elaborating that
over 1,000 Chinese representatives from large corporations, local governments,
sci-tech and financial fields were present at the the forum and its
side-events.
“China is the most active participant and most staunch
supporter of the forum,” it commented.
China’s development accomplishments and philosophies also
drew attention and praises from the representatives, and a feature article on
Chinese economy stressed that “China sets the direction for the world economy”.
The representatives believed that China’s momentum to
maintain a long-term and stable growth remains unchanged, and Chinese economy’s
important role in driving up global economy stays unchanged. “We are confident
in China and Chinese economy,” they said.
Like-minded partners that treat each other with sincerity
and trust are inseparable to an international cooperation, Xi said during his
speech.
China and Russia are a pair of such partners. Russian
President Vladimir Putin attended the First and Second Belt and Road Forum for International
Cooperation in 2017 and 2019, while Xi paid a special trip to attend St.
Petersburg International Economic Forum during his state visit to Russia this
year, after he attended the 4th Eastern
Economic Forum held in Russia last September.
The close working
partnership between the two heads of state also illustrates the special,
crucial significance and high level of China-Russia ties, demonstrates the
profound friendship between the two heads, declares the two countries’ strong
support to each other’s concerns, and underscores their sense of responsibility
to guard world peace and stability and seek development and prosperity.
It is in line with the common interests and shared
responsibility of the international community to firmly safeguard an international system with
the UN at the core and based on the international law, guard the multilateral
trading system, and thus inject strong positive energy into the complicated
global landscape.
Standing at a new historic starting point, China and Russia
will, when developing their comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination
for a new era, join efforts with the international society to contribute more
to creating a better world and building a community with a shared future for
mankind.
