The participants discussed the development of bilateral interparliamentary and interregional ties.
First Deputy Chair of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs Andrey Denisov met with a delegation from the Foreign Affairs Office of the People's Government of Liaoning Province, China. The delegation was headed by the Office Director Luo Li.
During the meeting, the senator recalled that during her official visit to the People's Republic of China in July 2023, Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko travelled to the city of Dalian in the Liaoning Province. ”We consider this visit to be a resumption of active exchange and cooperation between the legislative bodies of Russia and China in the post-pandemic period,“ said Andrey Denisov.
The senator also noted the importance of developing interregional ties, including at the level of regional legislatures. ”First of all, this applies to the provinces of Northeast China and the regions of the Russian Federation located in the eastern part of the country and in Russia’s Far East.“
Luo Li expressed the opinion that at the moment, Chinese-Russian relations are at the highest level in their history. ”The Liaoning Province pays great attention to the development of relations with Russia,“ the head of the Chinese delegation said.
