BEIJING, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- China's top diplomat Wang Yi met with Sergei Shoigu, secretary of the Russian Federation Security Council, in Beijing on Sunday.

Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, welcomed Shoigu's visit to China for a strategic dialogue as designated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Wang noted that the world is increasingly undergoing both changes and turbulence, with the post-war international order and norms governing international relations severely impacted, and the world faces a real risk of regressing to the law of the jungle.

As major countries and permanent members of the United Nations (UN) Security Council, China and Russia have the responsibility and obligation to practice true multilateralism, safeguard the international system with the UN at its core, advocate an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and work to build a more just and reasonable global governance system, Wang said.
