Moscow, Beijing vow to strengthen mutual trust

BEIJING - Visiting Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev on Thursday attended the Sixth Round of China-Russia Strategic Security Talks, where the two sides vowed to further enhance bilateral mutual trust.

State Councilor Dai Bingguo and Patrushev agreed to comprehensively implement the agreement China and Russia reached when President Hu Jintao visited Moscow earlier this year, which marked the 10th anniversary of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation.

The talks came a week after Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's visit to Beijing and are part of the frequent high-level exchanges between the two countries, whose ties are "at the best point in history", observers said.
