Topics of their conversation have ranged from Russia-China partnership¹, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to this year's World Cup in Russia.

 

The interview took place last Thursday in Moscow.

 

This is the first interview with a foreign media outlet² Putin has accepted as part of his new presidential term.

 

It's also the first time that he has sat down exclusively with a Chinese media outlet at the Kremlin.

 

The over-half-an-hour interview began with discussions about Russia's relationship with China.

 

Putin has depicted³ China as a reliable partner, ally and friend, hailing the bilateral⁴ relationship as unmatched in the world.

 

He has attributed the bilateral relationship to the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation signed between the two sides back in 2001.

 

He also suggests the similar ways the two sides want to build their nations and treat their people have brought Russia and China ever closer.

 

"What's the most important part of the speech delivered by President Xi Jinping to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China? What did the president talk about? That's improving the lives of the people. There are many different ways to attain⁵ that goal, but the goal remains⁶ the same. For Russia, besides improving the living standards of our citizens, we don't have any other goals. Based on this, we are also considering how to construct Russia-China relations, how to fulfill⁷ these goals and ensure national security and how to strengthen the effort to build the new economy especially in terms of modern innovation, digital economy, gene⁸ technology, modern harmonious⁹ society and the governance of the country and its economy. So we share many similarities and I believe any efforts will lead to new progress," said Putin.
