[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The Russian Foreign Minister stated that cooperation with China will be further strengthened under the current circumstances.

On the 19th (local time), according to major foreign media, Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, said, "In a situation where the West is blatantly undermining all foundations that form the basis of the international order, our two great powers need to consider how to act in this world."

This statement came shortly after German media reported that the plane carrying Minister Lavrov appeared to have turned back while en route to China. However, the media stated that it was unclear whether the reason for the plane's return was because China refused to meet with Russian government officials or because Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the return.
