On November 24th, Li Zhaoxing, chairman of the China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC), met with Sherstyuk, First Deputy Secretary of Russian Federal Security Council and President of Information Security Research Institute of Moscow State University (MSU), in Beijing.
Chairman Li pointed out that the Sino-Russian relations develop rapidly and have entered a new stage of comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and that the non-governmental diplomacy between the two countries is also showing good momentum. As an important part of Sino-Russian non-governmental diplomacy, the cooperation between the CAIFC and the MSU in mutual visits and personnel training has been close and fruitful since the establishment of exchange relations in 1992. Especially in recent years, the cooperation between the CAIFC and the MSU as well as its Information Security Research Institute in academic discussions and studies on international information security has been deepened, with many achievements. He hoped that the CAIFC and the MSU as well as its Information Security Research Institute would continue to work for friendly exchanges between the two peoples to enhance mutual trust and make due contributions to the good development of bilateral relations. Sherstyuk said that the Russian-China relations are enduring and the friendship between the two peoples would be more and more profound. He indicated that he is willing to strengthen the cooperation with the CAIFC and expand the fields of exchanges for greater achievements. The two sides also exchanged views on international and regional issues of common concern.
