Chinese leader Hu Jintao will arrive here Thursday to sign a joint declaration on world order in the 21st Century, a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry wrote in an article published in the government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta Wednesday.

“This is a crucial document that reflects the convergence of Russia and China’s fundamental positions on key issues in modern world order - our common view for the outlook of the development of humankind,” Alexander Yakovenko wrote.

According to Yakovenko, the declaration will affirm the parties’ commitment to forming a new fair and rational world order and to increasing the role of the UN in international politics.

Russia and China will announce the unacceptability of monopolizing global affairs, dividing states into those who lead and those who are led, imposing models for social development from the outside and applying double standards, he wrote.

Yakovenko wrote the sides will urge the international community to combine efforts in order to create a new architecture of security by shaping a global strategy to counteract new threats and challenges under the UN aegis, the article reads.

Russia and China have launched work on a mid-term program for developing bilateral trade and economic relations for 2006-2010, he wrote.

I don’t understand why there are no replies to this thread. Just the words Russia and China in the same sentence make me extremely nervous. :confused:
 
The PRC and Russia have been settling accounts in rubles and yuan for two years now. China is desperate for resources. Russia has them. The PRC just made a bid for Unocal in order to get the company’s south Asian reserves. Offered 10% over what anyone else would bid. Doing that and kissing Russia on the mouth is good for everyone. The alternatives are developing client states (nickel in Cuba, oil in the Sudan) or projecting force (PRC is building port facilities in Burma and Pakistan right now to ensure the free flow of mideast oil through the Strait of Malacca–ports which worry nuclear India).

And then there is Venezuela perking in the background…
