NEW DELHI. March 2 (Interfax) - Russia and China have big plans for the development of bilateral relations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"We have rather far-reaching plans for the development of bilateral relations and, of course, a substantive foreign political agenda, considering the role of Russia and China as a factor stabilizing the system of international relations," Lavrov said at the first in-person meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang on the sidelines of the G20 ministerial conference.
