Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on the 22nd that Russia will continue to comply with the core restrictions of the treaty within a year after the expiration of the New Treaty on Strategic Weapons Reduction.

Regarding the above news, at the regular press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held on September 23, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said in response to a question from a foreign media reporter "What is China's comment on this?" China appreciates Russia's positive attitude. China's position on the issue of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty between the United States and Russia is consistent. As the two countries with the largest nuclear arsenals, the United States and Russia should earnestly fulfill their special priority responsibilities for nuclear disarmament, resume the implementation of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, discuss follow-up arrangements, and continue to further significantly and substantially reduce nuclear arsenals in a verifiable, irreversible and legally binding manner. This is also the general expectation of the international community.
