Former Chinese Ambassadorin the EU called statements about "boundless friendship" between Moscow and Beijing a rhetorical device. Peskov responded by sayingVladimir Putin

Bilateral contacts between the leaders of RUSSIA and CHINA, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, as well as the documents they signed, reflect the real level of relations between the two countries, and they should be guided by. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, RBC correspondent reports.

Thus, a Kremlin representative was asked to comment on the words of Chinese Ambassador to the EU Fu Cong, who called statements about "boundless friendship" between Moscow and Beijing a rhetorical device. “We focus on the content of the contacts that took place between Putin and Xi Jinping recently in Moscow. And actually the whole context of them is set out in two signed statements that were adopted. And it is they who cover the entire range of issues on the joint agenda,” Peskov said.

Fu Cong made his announcement ahead of a conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who are on an official visit to China. According to the Chinese diplomatic representative, critics misinterpret the statement of the leaders of the two countries on cooperation. “[Friendship] without limits” is nothing but rhetoric,” he said. He also stressed that Beijing does not support the military operation in Ukraine, does not recognize Crimea as Russian, as well as the territories that became part of Russia following the results of referendums last fall, and does not provide military support to Moscow.

The joint statement between Putin and Xi, which said that friendship between Russia and China "has no borders" and cooperation "has no restricted areas," was signed after the Russian president's visit to China in early February last year . The document also says that the parties are deeply concerned about "challenges in the field of international security", oppose NATO expansion and call for abandoning the approaches of the Cold War era.

Last March, Xi Jinping came to Moscow for talks with the Russian president. The visit lasted two days. During this time, Putin and Xi held a four-and-a-half-hour closed-door meeting and three-hour talks, followed by a joint press conference. Following the visit, the leaders of the two countries made statements emphasizing the unique nature of both their personal relations and relations between countries.

The leaders also signed two joint documents on the development of partnership between states. One of them, a plan for the development of key areas of economic cooperation until 2030, provides for eight main areas, including the development of trade through electronic commerce and other innovative tools, the development of an interconnected logistics system, and ensuring mutual and global energy security.
