The two countries have supported each other in holding grand commemorative events, further deepening the China-Russia friendship. President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin have met twice this year, steering China-Russia relations through challenges toward high-level development. In the face of profound changes in the current international landscape, China is ready to work with Russia, taking the important common understandings reached between the two heads of state as the fundamental guideline, to enhance strategic communication, deepen cooperation across various fields, and better safeguard their shared interests in development and security. The fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) convened last month adopted the Recommendations for Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan, mapping out a blueprint for China's development in the next five years and beyond.
