[Lavrov: China possesses the technology that can help the Russian Federation overcome the illegal obstacles artificially created by the West]
On May 20, 2026, Moscow time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov answered questions during an exclusive interview with Shanghai SMG Media Group:
We are currently actively strengthening our technological alliance. China has the technology capable of helping the Russian Federation overcome the illegal barriers artificially imposed by the West. Russia is actively pursuing efforts to ensure our technological independence and technological sovereignty.
Lavrov emphasized:
Our relationship may be the most stable between two major powers in today's world. It is built on principles of mutual respect, win-win cooperation, and consideration for each other's interests. Any issue is handled in a way that ensures a balance of these interests. Given the current turbulent situation tearing apart nearly all regions of the world, including our Eurasian continent, this will bring stability to international relations.
