Ying said that judicial exchanges and cooperation are an integral component of China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era and that the reason for the sustained high-level friendly collaboration between Chinese and Russian procuratorial organs is the adherence to the strategic guidance of the two heads of state.

He went on to say that the SPP is willing to work with the Russian Prosecutor General's Office in comprehensively acting on important consensuses reached between the two heads of state, deepen mutual trust and bilateral cooperation under the frameworks of the Prosecutors General Conference of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Member States and the Meeting of the BRICS Heads of Prosecution Services, strive to make fresh contributions to further consolidating the China-Russia comprehensive strategic coordination and pragmatic cooperation and deliver more outcomes to the two countries and their people.

They will learn more from each other and work together to uphold the interests of the two countries, the two societies and the two peoples, he added.

After the meeting, Ying and Krasnov signed a new cooperation deal between their respective procuratorial organs.
