🌏 Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Russia's Sergei Lavrov met in Beijing this week to coordinate strategies ahead of a planned 2026 summit between their leaders. The talks focused on countering what both ministers called 'unilateral hegemony' disrupting global stability.
Strategic Alignment in Turbulent Times

Global Hotspots on the Agenda
The diplomats addressed pressing issues including:
Escalating US-Iran tensions
Ukraine conflict dynamics

Lavrov criticized countries forming 'small circles' to contain Moscow and Beijing – a veiled reference to Western alliances.
