Russia, China Should Work Together to Protect Their Interests from Western Pressure: PM

Moscow and Beijing should jointly defend their interests and the principles of the multipolar world order in the conditions of Western sanctions pressure, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at a meeting with Chinese State Council Premier Li Qiang.

"We are in a difficult external situation. Western countries are imposing illegitimate sanctions under far-fetched pretexts," Mishustin said.

"They are trying to maintain their global dominance and contain the economic and technological potential of Russia and China," he added
