Over the past four hundred years, bilateral relations between China and Russia have been of great importance not only for these two countries, but also for the entire world community. Political regimes and economic formations were changing, but the Chinese Embassy in Moscow has always been one of the most important diplomatic missions working in Russia. Today, the importance of relations between China and the Russian Federation is more important than ever for world security and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
History of bilateral relations
For many decades, one of the problem points in relation has been the Russian-Chinese border. However, at the beginning of the 2000s, this issue was finally resolved and there were no disputed sections on the border.
The Chinese Embassy in Moscow is one of the largest and largest diplomatic missions in Russia. The high level of relations, large commodity circulation and constant military-technical cooperation determine the complex and ramified structure of the Chinese mission.
In total, the embassy has thirteen departments, the most important of which are: political, bilateral relations, economic, science and technology, cultural and consular.
Military-technical cooperation
On November 11, 1993, a cooperation agreement was signed between the defense ministries of the two countries. This event resumed military cooperation, interrupted in the late sixties against the backdrop of a sharp deterioration in relations.
We can assume that after this agreement, bilateral relations reached a qualitatively new level. In 2001, the Treaty of Good Neighborhood and Cooperation was signed. Today, two countries are members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a military-political organization that ensures security in the vast territories of Eurasia.
The People's Republic of China is purchasing large quantities of military equipment from the Russian Federation, among which are SU-brand aircraft, small arms, tanks and air defense systems. Such close cooperation in the field of security makes the position of military attache at the Chinese Embassy in Moscow extremely important.
Of particular interest to Chinese partners is higher military education in Russia. Numerous students from China come to Russia to undergo military and theoretical training.
Address of the Chinese Embassy in Moscow
The Chinese Embassy in Russia is located in the Moscow region of Ramenki, on Druzhby Street, 6. Unlike other diplomatic missions, the Chinese is located not in a historic mansion, but in a modern spacious building. This decision was made because the staff of the embassy is extremely large and requires large areas for work.
The consular service is receiving Russian citizens on the issue of visas, and Chinese citizens can draw up all the documents they need.
Visa application
By telephone, the Chinese Embassy in Moscow answers from 15.30 to 18.00 on weekdays. You can call the consular service at the number indicated on the official website of the organization.
When contacting the Chinese consulate, it is worth remembering that in order to obtain a visa in the PRC, you must have an invitation from the host country.
