Adjust font size:

China is one of Russia's most important partners in the world arena, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in a recent interview with major Chinese media in Moscow.



Russian President Dmitry Medvedev speaks as he is interviewed by Chinese journalists in Moscow, capital of Russia, May 20, 2008. Medvedev expected that his visit to China scheduled on Friday and Saturday could fruit rich and constructive results during the interview by China's Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily and China Central Television (CCTV).

"Russia regards China as one of its foremost partners in its foreign policy," Medvedev said on the eve of his first visit to China after taking office on May 7.

The president expressed sincere condolences to the leaders and people of China over the devastating earthquake that shook the country's southwestern province of Sichuan on May 12.

"Our thoughts are with you at the moment, and we believe that China is capable of emerging from the aftermath of the disaster," he said.

Medvedev added that Russia, which has already sent several batches of humanitarian aid as well as rescue and medical teams to China, is willing to offer more help in the future.

On the Beijing Olympic Games, Medvedev expressed his belief that China has the capability to successfully organize the grand sports event, and that Chinese athletes will excel at the games, as will their Russian friends.

"At least half of Russia will watch the Beijing Games with enthusiasm. Sports telecasts by Russian media will record the highest audience rating," he added.
