Speaking after meeting President Xi Jinping, Lavrov said Russia could “make up for the resource deficit” for China and other countries willing to cooperate “in a fair and mutually beneficial manner”. Lavrov said ties between Russia and China “remain unshakeable in the face of all storms”, adding that relations between President Vladimir Putin and Xi contribute to stability despite global disruptions.
