Kremlin: Russia-China relations best ever
By Monique Beals - 03/28/22 05:10 PM EDT
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday in brief comments reported by Reuters that the Kremlin's relationship with China is stronger than ever.
Lavrov's reported remarks come as Western countries have imposed robust sanctions on Russia in an effort to isolate the country for its unprovoked attack on Ukraine.
However, China has solidified its alliance with Moscow, vocally opposing the sanctions and saying that it will continue to operate its typical economic and trade relations with Russia.
Specifically, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said last week that Russia should be permitted to attend the next Group of 20 (G-20) summit despite waging a full-scale military invasion against Ukraine.
"No member has the right to remove another country as a member. The G-20 should implement real multilateralism, strengthen unity and cooperation," Wang said.
