The two prime ministers (hereinafter, “the two sides”) noted that, under the guidance of the two heads of state, the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era has reached its highest level in history and continues to advance.

两国总理（以下简称“双方”）指出，在两国元首引领下，中俄新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系达到历史最高水平并持续向前发展。

This year marks the 30th anniversary of China and Russia’s declaration of their determination to develop an equal and trusting strategic partnership oriented toward the 21st century and the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation between China and Russia. In May, President Xi Jinping and President Putin unanimously agreed to extend the treaty and reiterated that the two sides would continue to abide by all its principles and spirit and promote the further development of bilateral relations to a higher level and higher quality.

今年是中俄宣布决心发展平等信任的、面向二十一世纪的战略协作伙伴关系30周年和《中俄睦邻友好合作条约》签署25周年。5月，习近平主席和普京总统一致同意《条约》延期，重申双方将继续恪守《条约》各项原则和精神，推动两国关系继续向更高水平、更高质量发展。

The principles established in the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation between China and Russia are based on generally recognized principles and norms of international law, including mutual respect for sovereignty and noninterference in internal affairs, and have important practical significance under current circumstances. The treaty stipulates that China and Russia support each other in safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity; will not use or threaten to use force against each other; will not employ economic or other means of pressure against each other; will resolve differences peacefully; and will not allow third countries to use Chinese or Russian territory to harm the interests of either country. The treaty confirms that China and Russia have no territorial claims against each other and are committed to making their common border a bond of permanent peace and friendship from generation to generation. These principles laid the political and legal foundation for the complete resolution of the border issue.

《中俄睦邻友好合作条约》中确立的原则以公认的国际法原则和准则为基础，包括互相尊重主权和互不干涉内政等内容，在当前形势下具有重要现实意义。《条约》确定，中俄支持彼此维护国家统一和领土完整，相互不使用武力或以武力相威胁，不针对对方采取经济及其他施压手段，以和平方式解决分歧，不允许第三国利用中俄领土损害两国利益。《条约》确认中俄相互没有领土要求，致力于将共同边界建设成为永久和平、世代友好的纽带。上述原则为彻底解决边界问题奠定了政治法律基础。

China-Russia relations are founded on equality, non-alliance, non-confrontation, freedom from ideological dividing lines, and non-targeting of third countries, and are not affected by the external environment.

中俄关系建立在平等基础之上，不结盟、不对抗、不以意识形态划线、不针对第三国，不受外部环境影响。

Upholding the spirit of permanent good-neighborliness and friendship, comprehensive strategic coordination, and mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, the two sides have always regarded each other as priority partners. Under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, they will continue to consolidate coordination in all fields and implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, helping maintain the vigorous momentum of the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era.

双方秉持永久睦邻友好、全面战略协作、互利合作共赢精神，始终视彼此为优先合作伙伴，将在两国元首战略引领下持续巩固各领域协作，推动两国元首达成的各项共识落地见效，助力中俄新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系保持蓬勃发展势头。

The two sides will always firmly support each other on issues involving their respective core interests and major concerns.

双方将始终在涉及彼此核心利益和重大关切问题上坚定相互支持。

The two sides emphasized that the authority of UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 cannot be questioned or challenged. Russia reiterated its adherence to the one-China principle, recognizing that there is only one China in the world, that Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory, and that the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole lawful government representing all of China. Russia opposes “Taiwan independence” in any form and firmly supports measures taken by the Chinese government to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and achieve national reunification.
