MOSCOW, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- The coordination between Moscow and Beijing in foreign policy has had an "important stabilizing influence on the world," acting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday.
Speaking at a press conference, Lavrov said that Russia and China share an equal attitude regarding international affairs, reflected in a series of joint documents.
Russia and China closely coordinate at the United Nations and always try to support each other and defend the principles of the UN Charter, Lavrov said.
He said both Russia and China are trying to prevent attempts by Western powers to force unilateral decisions, where consensus is needed.
Lavrov became an acting minister after on Wednesday Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's government submitted its resignation and Russian President Vladimir Putin asked the government members to keep performing their duties until a new government is formed. Enditem
