China and Russia pledged to strengthen cooperation on Sunday, a day after a brief rebellion by a Russian mercenary commander against the Kremlin fizzled out.
Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko made a previously unannounced visit to Beijing, where he met with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang to discuss “international and regional issues of common concern,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on its website.
Rudenko also held talks with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu. The two diplomats “exchanged views on international and regional issues of common concern such as the Ukrainian crisis,” according to a readout of the talks by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
