Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan and his Russian counterpart Igor Ivanov met here Saturday to make preparations for the upcoming Beijing summit between presidents of the two countries.

Tang said the upcoming China visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled on December 1 to 3 is a big event in Chinese-Russian relations this year.

The top leaders of the two countries will exchange views on major issues on bilateral relations, sum up experience in recent years and define strategic plans for future development of the ties, he said.

He said he believed the summit would be a great success and inject new vigor to the bilateral relations of the two countries.

Ivanov said the principle of "developing Russian-Chinese friendship for generations" was repeatedly stressed by President Putin and his Chinese counterpart Jiang Zemin and should be firmlysticked to.

He said the smooth conclusion of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was of great significance to not only China but also Russian-Chinese relations.

Soon after the congress, the presidents of the two countries would hold a summit, which will further deepen bilateral cooperation in every field, said the minister. Moscow pays high attention to the meeting, he added.
