"On June 25, 2023, a member of China's State Council, Foreign Minister Qin Gang met with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Rudenko in Beijing and exchanged views with him on Sino-Russian relations and international and regional issues of mutual interest," the ministry said in a statement.
No further details of the meeting were given.
On June 20, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the level of strategic partnership between Moscow and Beijing allowed Russia to be sure that building relations between China and other countries would not be directed against the Russian Federation.
Last month, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin stated that relations between Russia and China are currently "at an unprecedentedly high level, characterized by mutual respect for each other's interests, by the intention to jointly respond to new challenges that are associated with increasing turbulence in the international arena and the illegal sanctions pressure from the collective West."
