Xi tells Putin joint effort needed

CHINESE President Xi Jinping has called for joint efforts by China and Russia to push forward the process of the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific.

Xi told his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at a bilateral meeting in Lima on Saturday that the two countries should fully implement the consensus reached at the 2014 APEC Beijing summit and other meetings in recent years.

Xi underlined the need for China-Russia cooperation under the APEC framework in a bid to promote the bloc to contribute more to regional and global economic growth.

Putin said Russia and China should strengthen coordination and collaboration in APEC and other multilateral mechanisms.

As for China-Russia all-round strategic coordination, Xi said that it had not only promoted both countries’ development but also strengthened the force of world peace and justice.

China stood ready to work with Russia to continue high-level close contact, enhance mutual support and consolidate political and strategic mutual trust in the upcoming year, said Xi.

The Chinese president called on the two neighboring nations to enhance synergy of their national development strategies, and further integrate the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union.

He also expressed hopes that both countries would successfully organize the China-Russia Media Exchange Year and other important people-to-people and cultural exchanges.
