Unity amid turmoil
Xi and Putin sought to present a united front to the rest of the world.
Beijing and Moscow jointly expressed concerns over unilateral actions that impede international shipping and threaten the integrity of global supply chains and maritime trade as a whole, according to a translation of the Russian-language joint statement.
The US-Israeli military attacks against Iran had undermined stability in the Middle East, they said, pledging support for a sustainable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
They also said they opposed foreign policy isolation and economic sanctions against North Korea while explicitly expressing serious concerns over Japan’s accelerated rearmament.
They also voiced opposition to interference by external forces in the internal affairs of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean “under any pretext”.
