Now we characterise russian-chinese relations as a strategic partnership, even a special strategic partnership. we have never had such a level of trust with china before. china is our major trade and economic partner among foreign states. we implement joint multi-billion projects. we cooperate not only within the un security council, which is logical, as both china and russia are permanent members of the un security council, but also within such regional organisations as the shanghai cooperation organisation, brics, etc.
