In the new era of bilateral ties, Russia and China could coordinate more closely with each other on global issues and in international organizations, said Yuri Tavrovsky, a professor with the People's Friendship University of Russia.
"Our countries currently interact very well in the international arena. But we must more effectively respond to hegemony and unilateralism," he said.

With rising systematic risks in globalization, it is necessary to safeguard multilateralism and stick to win-win cooperation, said Vladimir Yakunin, head of the Department of State Governance of the Faculty of Political Science of the Moscow State University, emphasizing that many of Chinese initiatives are aimed at truly promoting globalization.
