Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian said on Friday that it is necessary for the Unite States and Russia to resolve issues through dialog and communication to improve the soured bilateral relations.
Lin made the statement at a regular press briefing in response to a large-scale prisoner swap on Thursday, which involved 26 individuals from the U.S., Germany, Russia, and other nations.
"We have noticed relevant media reports. The U.S. and Russia are both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and influential powers. We hope the two sides can properly resolve issues emerging in bilateral ties through communication and dialog, which is conducive to international and regional peace and stability," said Lin.
