Features: On October 2nd of this year, it marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia. The founding of the People's Republic of China was the first time the Soviet government established diplomatic ties with China. In the nearly half-century that followed, the relationship between the two countries has experienced ups and downs, achieving normalization in May 1989. After the Cold War ended, a new type of state-to-state relationship was established between China and Russia—non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of third countries. On the occasion of the two countries jointly celebrating the 55th anniversary of their diplomatic relations, the "50th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and Russia" album published by the World Knowledge Publishing House vividly brings to life the history of friendly exchanges between China and Russia. This helps readers better understand the friendship between the peoples of China and Russia and contribute more to equal and mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries. In July 2001, President Jiang Zemin and President Putin signed the "China-Russia," legally solidifying the peaceful concept of "generational friendship and eternal non-enmity" between China and Russia, laying a solid foundation for the development of both countries. The album recreates the history of friendly exchanges between China and Russia.
