China, he said, firmly supports the important moves taken by Russia to achieve lasting peace and stability in the country, and is confident that under Putin's leadership, the Russian people will continue to forge ahead in unity and make new achievements along the development path that suits their country's national conditions.

For his part, Putin said that the remarkably effective measures taken by the Chinese government has not only contained the epidemic's spread inside China but also made important contributions to safeguarding the health of people in other countries.

Russia highly appreciates and is pleased with China's efforts, he said, adding that China has set a good example for the international community by lending a helping hand to other epidemic-hit countries in a timely manner.

What China has done represents a resounding answer to the provocation and stigmatization by a certain country over the COVID-19 epidemic, said the Russian president.

Russia, he added, hopes to work with China to carry on mutual support and close cooperation in combating the epidemic, and continuously deepen the Russia-China comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination.
