The coordination of Russian and Chinese foreign policies serves as a deterrent for the destructive influence of a number of western states including the United States, the speaker of the lower chamber of the Russian parliament said Monday.

MOSCOW, October 13 (RIA Novosti) - The coordination of Russian and Chinese foreign policies serves as a deterrent for the destructive influence of a number of western states including the United States, the speaker of the lower chamber of the Russian parliament said Monday.

"The close coordination of the positions of Russia and China with regard to international affairs is currently a deterrent for the policies of a number of western states, including the United States, policies which in different parts of the globe at times bring destabilization, chaos, and, unfortunately, cause the extensive loss of life," Sergei Naryshkin said during a meeting with the Premier of the People's Republic of China Li Keqiang.

According to the Russian official, the latest developments in Ukraine are a clear example of this.

Naryshkin also expressed his gratitude to the authorities and people of China for understanding Russia's position regarding the current Ukrainian crisis and for negating western economic sanctions against Moscow.

Li Keqiang, in turn, said that China and Russia always treat each other with respect as equal partners and together ensure peace on their vast common border of 4,200 kilometers (about 2,610 miles). He referred to Russian-Chinese relations as being that of old friends.

China's Premier arrived in Moscow on Sunday on a three-day official visit.
