President of Russia Bois Nemtsov: Madam President, dear friend, welcome to Russia, to Moscow.

I am glad to have a chance to congratulate you in person on your election as President of China. It is an honor that you have chosen Russia to be your first visit since being duly elected by the Chinese people.

This was possible because the Chinese nation and its representatives rightfully appreciate your work and commitments. In recent months, China has made a colossal leap forward in its development. Both politically and socially. It has been the object of sincere interest around the entire world, and we are even a bit envious of you.

China has created quite an effective system to develop the economy and strengthen the state. It is much more effective than what many other countries have, which is an undeniable fact. Market mechanisms go hand in hand with a quite confident policy program and yield tangible results. China has shown that merit and progress go hand in hand.

I am sure that, under your leadership, China will continue to make strides in its development in the years ahead and will, without a doubt, fulfill its goals. The world watches with desire for China's strength and prosperity.

It has not escaped me that together Russia and China embarked on their socialist commitment to humanity and that today we embark on our democratic socialist commitment to humanity. Since our transitions, we have made great strides in developing our relations. Our trade continues to grow and exchanges between our two great peoples continues to multiply.

You personally and all of our Chinese friends devote much attention to Russian-Chinese relations. It is when Russia and China are in unison does the world stand a chance against imperialist hegemony. Both as socialist nations and today as democratic ones.

We are eager to see detailed steps about how we can pursue a more robust partnership and alliance that will reflect our deeply intertwined history. As Empires. Socialists. Democrats. It is reassuring to know that Russia does not walk this journal alone. Neither do I wish you to feel that you walk this journey alone. China will alway have a friend in Moscow, just as much as I hope we have a friend in Beijing.

We know that you are guided by the principles of justice and respect for the fundamental provisions of international law and indivisible security for all countries. Promoting the fundamental principles of international order and multipolarity that is inclusive of the global south is crucial.

As we continue to promote Russo-Chinese international strategic cooperation, we must achieve the goal of ensuring justice and equality in the world while also achieving further development and prosperity in our countries in the process.

The Russian Government pays a great deal of attention to promoting Russo-Chinese relations, because this has its own historical logic and we are two major neighboring countries. We are partners in comprehensive strategic interaction and cooperation, and this status determines the close relations between our countries.

There are lots of social, economic, and political cooperation issues. In the coming days, we will discuss this with the participation of our partners and colleagues. I am pleased that you thought fit and took the time to come here in the evening in order to discuss all issues of interest in an informal and friendly atmosphere.

Welcome to Moscow once again.
