In a joint statement during the Chinese Premier’s visit to Russia, Beijing and Moscow denounced "destructive external interference," citing it as the primary source of instability in Eurasia and condemning any pressure hindering regional solidarity.

Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to supporting each other’s core interests, with China reiterating its support for Russia’s stability, sovereignty, and rejection of foreign interference.

The statement made no reference to an anticipated summit between Putin, Xi, and Trump, despite an earlier hint from a Russian presidential aide regarding its potential occurrence on the sidelines of the upcoming APEC summit.
