Beijing, SANA- Russia and China reiterated their rejection of the unilateral illegitimate measures imposed by the Western countries on other countries in an attempt to hold sway over the world.
Russian News Agency(TASS) quoted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as saying in a joint press conference with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in the Chinese city of Guilin that Russia and China reject the geopolitical games and unilateral illegitimate sanctions used by the Western countries increasingly and repeatedly.
The two countries slammed the US attempts to destroy the international legal structure, relying on the politico-military alliances and creating other closed alliances, as “destructive approach.”
Lavrov noted that the whole structure of the Russian-EU relations and all mechanisms which have been built up for years were destroyed due to the unilateral measures that have been adopted by Brussels against Russia.
He added that Russia has no relations with the EU as an organization, asserting that his country has only solo relations with some European countries.
Russia will be ready for any connection to increase interaction and communication between the two sides, in case Brussels expressed intention for that, and to overcome the disputes, he said.
Lavrov added that building relations should be on the base of equality and balance in interests.
