Milan, 4 May (LaPresse) – ‘Russian-Chinese relations strengthen global stability by the mere fact of their existence’. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview in the documentary ‘Russia. Kremlin. Putin. 25 years', as reported by Interfax. ‘Turmoil in the world has not diminished, only increased, and we have such reliable and stable relations that, by the mere fact of our existence, strengthen stability in the world,’ he said. Putin also emphasised that Russia's relations with China are strategic and deep, because the interests of the two countries coincide.He noted that at the time when Moscow and Beijing began active interaction, the Russian Federation had good relations with the West. ‘But even then there were early signs that the centre of economic growth would shift to the Asia-Pacific region, not only to China, but also to other countries in this region,’ he added.
