At about 4 o'clock in the morning today, Russian President Vladimir Putin came!
This is Putin's first foreign trip in the new term, and the first stop is Beijing. Previously, on April 25, Blinken was still visiting China, and Putin revealed through Russian media that he planned to visit China in May and would bring a book to China as a special gift.
Later, according to Russian media reports, this special gift was a book "What to Do" written by the famous Russian writer Nikolai Chernyshevsky. Reading the title of the book "What to do", it feels meaningful. What is the implication of Russia's future and national destiny? This is a crucial issue for Russia and Putin.
In fact, on May 7, in his speech sworn in as the new president of Russia, Putin gave the answer: "Promise to continue to serve the people and put the interests of the Russian state and people above everything else." ”
Among them, the key word "serving the people" is extremely eye-catching. "Serving the people" is undoubtedly Putin's summary of the experience of ruling Russia in the past, and it is also an important creed to guide Russia's development in the future.
Since Putin's presidency (former Prime Minister of Russia, chairman of the United Russia party), he has worked to revive Russia's status as a great power. Internally, the power of the federal government will be strengthened, the economic order will be rectified, the financial oligarchy will be cracked down, and the army will be strengthened; Externally, efforts should be made to improve the international environment, expand diplomatic space, safeguard national interests, and gradually restore the status of a great power in the international arena. Putin has been selected as the most influential person in the world by Time magazine and Forbes magazine.
Putin is well aware that the prosperity of a country is closely linked to the well-being of its people. He always put the needs and interests of the people first and worked to improve the living conditions of the people through a series of economic, social and political reforms.
He attaches great importance to infrastructure construction, vigorously develops education, health care and other public services, and ensures that every Russian citizen can enjoy basic social security.
By strengthening the state's macroeconomic regulation and control, optimizing the economic structure, and promoting scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading, the Russian economy has gradually come out of the trough and achieved steady growth.
Attaching great importance to education, the level of education in Russia has been significantly improved by increasing investment in education, improving the educational environment, and improving the quality of education.
In fact, what Putin has done has fully embodied the idea of "serving the people", which is not only reflected in his political decision-making, but also deeply imprinted in his philosophy of governing the country.
Putin's concept of governing the country can be summed up as follows: people-oriented, people-oriented, and the people are rich and the country is strong. He repeatedly stressed: "Development is a priority direction of Russian state policy." "Improving the quality of life of the people will be the main task of the state."
Putin believes that only when the country is rich and strong can the people's lives be improved and enhanced. And the prosperity and strength of the country can only come from the people and from the creative labor of the people. He firmly believes in the concept of "strengthening the country and strengthening the people" and strives to put this concept into practice.
Of course, Putin's path to statecraft has not been easy. He faced all kinds of serious challenges and pressures from home and abroad. But it is precisely these challenges and pressures that have strengthened Putin's belief in "serving the people". He knows very well that only by truly working for the interests of the people can we win the trust and support of the people and achieve the prosperity and stability of the country.
What to do? From the moment he confidently shouted the loud slogan of "serving the people" in his swearing-in speech as the new president of Russia, Putin has found his historical orientation and found a magic weapon for victory. Because, "seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation", China's development wisdom and practice have historically proved this point.
The "big brother" of the year, from exporting ideas and values, to now obtaining new scriptures from China and moving forward hand in hand with China, this is the best choice for Russia. Putin's visit to China should be another new leap on the basis of his more than 50 high-level meetings with Chinese heads of state.
This is not only a spiritual feedback to thank China, but also a dialogue and exchange between the two major parties and major countries that share the achievements of governance and practice the idea of "serving the people", and it is also a pragmatic trip to further deepen cooperation between China and Russia in various fields and promote the high-level and high-quality development of the two countries.
China and Russia have gone through ups and downs and forged ahead for 75 years. Under the new pattern of political and economic development in the world today, it is hoped that China and Russia will move in the same direction and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, which will bring tangible benefits to the people of the two countries and usher in a better future.
