Russia and China intend to counter the interference of external forces in the internal affairs of other countries and oppose color revolutions, as follows from a joint statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on international relations entering a new era and global sustainable development, adopted at a meeting in the Chinese capital on Friday.

"Russia and China stand against attempts by external forces to undermine security and stability in their common adjacent regions, intend to counter interference by outside forces in the internal affairs of sovereign countries under any pretext, oppose color revolutions, and will increase cooperation in the aforementioned areas," the statement reads.
