[Global Times - Global Times reporter, Su Yanqi] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Lin Jian held a regular press conference on December 2. During the meeting, a Russian journalist asked: On December 1, which is yesterday, Russian President Putin signed a presidential decree to implement a visa exemption policy for Chinese citizens. From yesterday, Chinese friends can travel to Russia, conduct business visits, participate in scientific and cultural exchanges, as well as sports events, etc., without a visa. What is the Chinese side's comment on this?

Lin Jian said that what you mentioned is good news. The mutual visa exemption between China and Russia is another example of the two countries' governments and people working together. We believe this will further enhance the friendship between the two peoples and promote exchanges and cooperation in all fields. We sincerely welcome more Russian friends to take a "spontaneous" trip to China by using the visa exemption policy. We also look forward to Chinese citizens making full use of the visa exemption policy to have a wonderful trip to Russia.
