Recently, according to the Beijing News, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, and China attaches great importance to the leading role of the diplomacy of the heads of state of China and Russia in bilateral relations.
He revealed that the two heads of state have reached a consensus and will continue to maintain close contacts to ensure the smooth and stable development of Sino-Russian relations.
It is worth noting that after being sworn in as the eighth president of the Russian Federation, Russian President Vladimir Putin chose China as the country he visited for the first time, which highlights China's important position in Moscow's diplomatic strategy.
The visit is scheduled for mid-May, and it is Putin's first choice of China as the destination for his second consecutive presidency. As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, Russia's relations with the West have completely broken down, so Russia has decided to "look east" in an all-round way and comprehensively strengthen cooperation with China in terms of economy and trade.
Amid the Kremlin bells, Putin took a solemn oath in the Andrei Hall, opening his new term as the eighth president of the Russian Federation.
This historical moment not only heralds the beginning of Putin's new journey, but also symbolizes that China-Russia relations are about to enter a new stage of development.
Putin spoke at the inauguration ceremony, witnessed by members of the Russian Federation government, representatives of people from all walks of life, and envoys of various countries in Russia.
He mentioned that despite the attempts of Western countries to destroy Russia from within through sanctions, Russia's economic growth rate in 2023 is still higher than the global average, an achievement ahead of the leading countries of the European Union and all the members of the "G7".
In his speech, Putin reiterated that Russia does not reject dialogue with Western countries, but stressed that dialogue must be based on equality and respect for each other's interests, and not on the basis of power.
He said that during the new term of office, he will further expand cooperation with friendly countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and other regions to strengthen Russia's influence in international and regional organizations.
The DPRK leader immediately sent a personal congratulatory letter to Putin, and the Chinese side also congratulated Putin at a regular press conference held by spokesman Lin Jian.
In particular, Lin Jian emphasized the basic principles of Sino-Russian cooperation, namely "non-alignment, non-confrontation and non-targeting of third parties".
Recently, Russia held its first military parade on Red Square after Putin's re-election as president.
Although smaller than in previous years, Putin's speech at the parade still showed Russia's strong posture.
In his speech, he made special mention of China and Sino-Russian relations, which attracted the attention of Western countries.
In addition, Putin also publicly "shouted about China", expressed respect for the Chinese people, and mentioned the continued growth of Sino-Russian trade.
According to reports, in the first four months of this year, the total trade volume between China and Russia has increased significantly, which has laid a solid foundation for further promoting the development of Sino-Russian relations.
After the inauguration ceremony, Putin quickly began the appointment of the leadership of the government for the new term.
According to a report by the global network, Russian State Duma Chairman Volodin revealed that Putin has nominated Mishustin to the State Duma as prime minister.
As the promoter and implementer of Sino-Russian friendly relations, Mishustin's stay in office is regarded as an important signal of Sino-Russian bilateral cooperation.
At the same time, Putin also made a series of personnel appointments, including the appointment of former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu as secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, which attracted widespread attention.
This personnel change is seen as a further guarantee of the continuity and execution of Russian policy.
However, the recent arrest of high-ranking officials in the Russian Ministry of Defense has also attracted attention.
According to reports, the arrest of Yuri Kuznetsov, head of the Main Directorate of Cadres of the Russian Ministry of Defense, on suspicion of a criminal offense, is seen as a manifestation of the Russian government's determination to fight corruption.
On the Ukrainian side, there has also been a major reshuffle in the top echelons of the military, which reflects tensions between Ukraine's domestic political and military leadership.
By contrast, Russia's political and military leadership appears relatively stable.
Shoigu's change in office is seen as a "clear rise and a fall", but he still retains an important position in the Russian cabinet.
Although there are personnel changes in the cabinet reshuffle, Putin hopes to maintain the continuity of Russian policy, so many key positions are still held by the original team.
For the new defense minister, Belousov, the challenge for him is how to lead the Russian army to deal with the intensifying conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Although he has no military background, Mr. Peskov explained that Mr. Putin values his ability in the economic sphere and his ability to drive innovation in the Defense Ministry.
With the formation of the new government and the implementation of various appointments, the future of Russia is full of challenges and opportunities.
Under Putin's leadership, Russia will continue to play an important role in the international arena and promote all-round development in all areas of the country.
We hope that with the efforts of the new government, Russia will be able to usher in a more prosperous and stable future.
