Sergey Ryabkov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, discussed arms control, strategic security issues, and Russia–China cooperation within BRICS during his visit to Beijing.
"Over two days, February 2–3, we held comprehensive talks in Beijing with Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu and Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Liu Bin. Two main topics were addressed: first, Russia–China cooperation within BRICS; second, arms control and strategic security," Ryabkov told reporters.
"BRICS has become a focal point for forces that support strengthening multipolarity, uphold international law and the sovereign equality of states, and seek forms of cooperation in a highly turbulent international environment—one that leaves no one indifferent, let alone at ease," Ryabkov stressed.
He added that "anxiety is probably the word that hangs in the air in many capitals, and #BRICS, as an alternative to unilateral, coercive approaches and pressure—as a way to safeguard national interests—provides, overall, a solid basis for moving forward."
