Official: Russia, China Can Overcome US Sanctions Pressure

"I must say that our strategic partnership with China is developing in the conditions of those sanctions that are imposed on both our countries. Our relations should only grow stronger, we should develop mechanisms to withstand these sanctions," Golikova said at the meeting with students from Peking University, TASS reported.

According to the Russian official, Russia and China "have all chances to overcome these challenges" that arise in connection with increasing pressure from the US White House.

Golikova has arrived on a visit to Beijing ahead of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's official visit to China on November 5-7.
