MOSCOW, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- The high-level partnership between Russia and China has played a crucial part in helping maintain a fair and just world order, a leading Russian expert has said.
The two nations are firmly on the track of upholding stability and security in the world, Sergei Luzyanin, Director of the Institute of Far Eastern Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences and an expert at the international Valdai Discussion Club, said in a recent interview.
This was stated clearly in a joint statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in June 2016 in Hangzhou during the G20 Summit, he noted.
The scholar believed that there are two important levels defining Russia-China relations.
The first level is the high degree of mutual cooperation and understanding in the military and political spheres.
Both countries face complex regional and global problems, especially Russia, which has been under great pressure due to Western sanctions and is caught up in a difficult situation in Syria, the expert said.
Therefore, cooperation between the two countries within a host of global and regional frameworks has increased significantly.
