He highlighted the 75-year profound friendship between China and Russia and noted the remarkable journey of bilateral relations and the substantial achievements in economic and trade cooperation. Practical collaboration across various sectors and strong ties have laid a solid foundation for the relationship.

He emphasized that China had been Russia's largest trading partner for 13 years, while Russia was China's fourth-largest trading partner reflecting increasingly close cooperation.
