BEIJING, February 8. /TASS/. Moscow and Beijing have identical positions on a number of major foreign policy matters, such as the situation in Syria and around the Korean Peninsula, Russia’s Ambassador to China Andrei Denisov told TASS on Monday. "In terms of approaches to Syria, we have identical goals, tasks and vision of the ways to achieve them. We also have identical views on the situation on the Korean Peninsula in the context of North Korea’s nuclear problem and consequences of Pyongyang’s recent nuclear tests," he said. He said such coordination of positions facilitated the solution of key problems of a comprehensive character, such as the one over Syria’s chemical weapons. "As a matter of fact, the problem was settled thanks to joint coordinated efforts of Russia and China," the Russian diplomat said. As concerns relations between the two Koreas, Denisov said that Russia and China were seeking to avoid measures that might entail further destabilization. "Any response measures should not lead to the deterioration of the situation. This is our position and we share it with our Chinese partners. We have identical approaches to this problem with China, there are no gaps between us," he said. Read more
