China and Russia are committed to boosting their cooperation for a “fair world order” amid chaotic times, their leaders stated at their third face-to-face meeting this year.
The talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the 16th Brics summit in Kazan on Tuesday came as the two seek momentum from the emerging-economies bloc to provide an alternative to the Western-led world order.
“Russian-Chinese cooperation in global affairs is one of the main stabilising factors on the world stage,” Putin said in his opening remarks at the event.
“We intend to further increase coordination at all multilateral platforms in order to ensure global security and a fair world order.”
Xi in his remarks emphasised that “in the context of a tectonic transformation unprecedented in centuries, the international situation is undergoing serious changes and upheavals”.
