Russian President Vladimir Putin embarked on a state visit to China from May 16 to 17, marking his first foreign trip since beginning a new presidential term earlier this month. This visit underscores the significance of Russia-China relations in the current global landscape.
During his stay, a CGTN stringer ventured into the streets of Moscow to gauge the public's sentiments towards China and the future of bilateral cooperation. One local enthusiastically shared his admiration for Chinese culture, stating, \"We consider them our important friend since we have good relations, and the people there are also very friendly.\"
Another resident echoed similar sentiments, expressing a heartfelt hope that the two nations will continue to support each other steadfastly, likening their relationship to that of brothers. These voices from the ground highlight a widespread desire among Russians for enduring and deepened collaboration with China.
As global dynamics evolve, the warmth and optimism expressed by Moscow's residents reflect a collective aspiration for sustained partnership and mutual growth between Russia and China.
