On Monday,
Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Li Baodong said that the positions of
Beijing and Moscow coincide on the Syrian issue. Speaking to Sputnik,
Chinese and Russian analysts confirmed that recent events have
demonstrated that the two countries are quickly building a
sustainable strategic partnership in their response to the Syrian
crisis.
Speaking at
a briefing in Beijing, Li said that "China and Russia hold the
same position on the most important international and regional
issues," including the conflicts in Syria and Afghanistan.
"The
two countries, being permanent members of the UN Security Council,
continue to cooperate closely on international and regional issues,"
Li added, noting that President Xi Jinping looks forward to meeting
with President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the upcoming BRICS
summit in Goa later this week to discuss the most pressing issues of
regional and international politics.

China
earlier abstained from a French resolution, which Russia ultimately
vetoed, on creating a no fly zone over the city of Aleppo, suggesting
that the draft did not "reflect the full respect for the
sovereignty, independence, unification and territorial integrity of
Syria."
