Speaking today at a Moscow conference, Sergey Lavrov described expanding ties with China as Russia's top foreign policy priority.
Lavrov said the two nations share opposition to a unipolar world, a veiled reference to perceived US global domination.
He added that Moscow and Beijing oppose "double standards" as well as attempts at "diktat and blackmail" in global affairs.
Amid a bitter strain in Russia-West relations over the Ukrainian crisis, the Kremlin has sought to bolster ties with Beijing to soften the impact of Western sanctions.
