8:03 am
a unified stance that we know that china has been expressing some concerns over growing presence of the united states military presence in the region as well as mentioning the events in north africa and in the middle east basically we do understand as well that russia and china have a unified position on the syrian conflict and that is not going to change according to both leaders so definitely this visit gives a lot of confidence that the positions of both countries will not change we are yet of course to experience two more days of this visit with the summit of the corporation organization to be held within the next several days and we also expecting meetings between. presidents of iran and afghanistan will be very interesting to hear what they can discuss during these meetings as the iranian problem is also one of the key problems in the foreign policy across the world right now. live from beijing. and we
