At the consultation, Sun Weidong said relations between China and Russia are experiencing the best period in history. China said the two sides should promote the SCO to better play the role of "anchor of stability" amid once-in-a-century changes, strengthen communication and coordination in Asia-Pacific affairs, and jointly safeguard regional security, stability and development. China supports Russia in its work as BRICS president and stands ready to continuously strengthen bilateral strategic coordination in international multilateral platforms.

The Russian side said they are ready to work with China to fully implement the important common understandings reached between the two heads of state, deepen bilateral and multilateral strategic coordination, promote the sustained, sound and stable development of the SCO, BRICS, and other mechanisms, and jointly safeguard security and development of the Asia-Pacific region.

The two sides also exchanged views on Ukraine, the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and other international issues of mutual concern.
