The Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness and Friendly Cooperation between Russia and China marked its 25th anniversary in July.<\/p>\n<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping have met twice this year, Lavrov said: in May during Putin\u2019s visit to China and in August in Bishkek on the sidelines of a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit. Lavrov said Putin would travel to Shenzhen in November to attend the APEC summit and meet Xi again.<\/p>\n<p>Lavrov said the Russia-China strategic partnership had played an important stabilising role internationally. He said the two countries\u2019 positions were similar or closely aligned on many issues at the United Nations Security Council, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, BRICS, APEC, the G20 and cooperation forums with ASEAN.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the international situation called for the two countries\u2019 foreign ministries to work with greater commitment and effectiveness.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=27472\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media Newsroom Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said trade between Russia and China grew by 25 percent in the first eight months of this year.
