The leaders of Russia and China met through their second video call this year to discuss Western interference in their internal affairs

The one hour summit cemented the relationship between the two powers, who agreed to defend each other’s security interests.

This comes just over a week after Russia’s president Vladimir Putin spoke with US president Joe Biden about the tensions on the border between Russia and Ukraine, highlighting that Western intervention was bringing Russia closer to China.

President Xi says that “certain international forces under the guise of ‘democracy’ and ‘human rights’ are interfering in the internal affairs of China and Russia, and brutally trampling on international law and recognised norms of international relations.

A Kremlin aide says the Chinese leader voiced his support for Russia in pushing to obtain binding security guarantees for the nation from the West.

The AUKUS partnership between Australia, Britain and the U-S and the Indo-Pacific region was also discussed, with the pair expressing their “negative view” of the military alliances.
