BEIJING, November 12. /TASS/. Partnership between Moscow and Beijing can serve as an example of cooperation between countries, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu said.

"Comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction [between Russia and China] are an example of cooperation between two powers in today’s world. Without being based on a military and political alliance such as those established during the Cold War, relations between our countries surpass these sorts of intergovernmental ties," Shoigu pointed out at a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

The top Russian security official noted that Russia-China ties were based on the principles of mutual respect, equality, trust, non-interference in each other’s domestic affairs and support for each other on the issues that the parties found important.

"Russia-China relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation have reached the highest level in history. Russia and China share similar approaches to the key international and regional issues," Shoigu added.
