BEIJING, June 25 (Xinhua) -- China and Russia vowed to unswervingly deepen their comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination during the talks between the two heads of state here on Saturday afternoon.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agreed to beef up mutual support and enhance the political and strategic mutual trust.
Hailing the role of close high-level contact in advancing bilateral ties and promoting regional and global development, Xi said the establishment of the strategic partnership of coordination 20 years ago demonstrated the strategic nature of the bilateral ties.
This year also marks the 15th anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Good-Neighborly Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation, which Xi said affirmed the two countries' friendship from generation to generation.
The above two strategic decisions serve the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples, and conform to the trend of times, Xi said.
He called for more political mutual support between the two countries.
