🇷🇺🇨🇳 FM Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at the meeting with Foreign Minister of the People’s Republic of China Wang Yi 📍 Beijing, February 3, 2022 💬 This is our first face-to-face meeting in more than two years because of the coronavirus. We greatly value the unprecedented level of cooperation with our Chinese friends, their firm and reciprocal support. Our relations rely on broad public consensus in both countries. They are self-sufficient, sustainable and immune to the fluctuations of the political environment. They are not aimed against third countries. The 24th Winter Olympic Games open tomorrow. Like China and the overwhelming majority of countries, Russia is categorically opposed to boycotting international competitions, politicising high-level sports instead of respecting the ideals of the Olympic movement. #RussiaChina
