Former Russian prime minister Primakov speaks highly of Russia-China relations

Russia-China relations, which have been developing smoothly, will constitute a major stabilizing factor in the process of forming a multipolar world, former Russian Prime Minister Primakov said Saturday.

Primakov, also honorary chairman on the Russian side of the Russia-China Friendship Committee for Peace and Development (RCFCPD), said in his speech at the prestigious China Foreign Affairs University in Beijing that the staunch support underscored specially by Russian President Vladimir Putin on China's Anti-secession Law represents a concrete embodiment of the strategic partnership between the two nations.

In response to a question raised by students, Primakov also said the formation of a triangular strategic relationship among Russia, China and India will help maintain stability in the region.

Primakov is currently visiting China at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart Qian Qichen, honorary chairman on the Chinese side of the RCFCPD, and his China trip, which began last Thursday, will end on Sunday.
