Carry out all-round diplomacy, focus on the Commonwealth of Independent States, and give priority to developing relations with the West, especially Europe. At the same time, strengthen Asia-Pacific diplomacy and increase dependence on Asia-Pacific powers such as China and India. Its purpose is to actively promote the process of multi-polarization, advocate reviving Russia's status as a big country, highlight safeguarding national interests, and focus on creating favorable external conditions for Russia's domestic economic recovery.

Relations with the United States

Compared with the Soviet-American confrontation during the Cold War, Russian-American relations have undergone fundamental changes, but the development process is not smooth. From 65438 to 0999, NATO bombed Yugoslavia, which brought Russia-US relations to the lowest point after the Cold War. In April 2009, US President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev agreed to "restart" relations between the two countries. In July, Russia and the United States decided to set up a bilateral cooperation and development committee headed by the presidents of the two countries to guide and coordinate bilateral cooperation in various fields. On July 6, Obama visited Russia for the first time. The two countries reached a consensus on further reducing offensive strategic weapons, and signed a framework document on reducing offensive strategic weapons, an agreement on the transit of American goods through Russia to Afghanistan and a joint statement on nuclear cooperation between the two countries. By April of 20 1 1, the United States had flown 1000 times from Russian airspace and transported more than150,000 people to the battlefield in Afghanistan. The civil nuclear energy cooperation agreement came into effect on 2011.

Relations with China

Tsarist Russia was originally a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, which was not bordered by China. Since the Qing Dynasty, Russia has occupied part of China's territory through wars of aggression, unequal treaties and the so-called mediation theory. The territories occupied by Russia in China include Sakhalin Island (called Sakhalin Island in Russia and Yetai in Japan), the land east of Wusuli River, the land north of Heilongjiang to the outer Xing 'an Mountains, the land east of Lake Baikal, and the territory of about 6,543,800 square kilometers east and south of Lake Balkhash. In addition, during the recovery of Xinjiang, Russia occupied Ili and was forced to return it on 188 1; During the Eight-Nation Alliance period, Russia occupied Northern Manchuria and was forced to return it to China after the Russo-Japanese War. The Soviet Union played a great role in the event of outer Mongolia's independence, and occupied the Tangnu Liang Hai. The country directly cut off about 6,543,800+7,000 square kilometers of land from China, and with the independence of Outer Mongolia instigated by it, it cut off more than 3 million square kilometers of land from China, making it the country that plundered China's territory the most in history.

102, the Soviet Union was the first country in the world to establish diplomatic relations with New China. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, 199 165438, on February 27th, China and Russia signed the minutes of talks in Moscow, confirming that Russia inherited the diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and China.

In 2005, China and Russia signed the Supplementary Agreement between People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Russian Federation on the Eastern Border between China and Russia. So far, not only the territorial dispute over Heixiazi Island has been settled, but also the 4300-kilometer border between China and Russia has been confirmed. In June 5438 +2008 10, the Chinese and Russian governments held the unveiling ceremony of the boundary pillar in the eastern section of the Sino-Russian border in Heixiazi Island. About 1, 7 1 square kilometers of land and its waters on the west side of Heixiazi Island were officially included in China.

Relations with European countries

In May 2003, Russia and Europe agreed to hold talks to establish four "common spaces": an economic space for environmental and energy cooperation; Freedom, security and judicial cooperation space; Space for foreign security cooperation and space for cooperation in science, technology, education and culture. These four "common spaces" are the main contents of the "road map" leading to the strategic partnership between Europe and Russia, but the negotiations between the two sides for many years have yielded no results.

The partnership and cooperation agreement signed by 1997 expired at the end of 2007, and the representatives of both parties have conducted six rounds of negotiations on signing the new agreement.

Among the many obstacles affecting the development of Russian-European relations, the issue of natural gas cooperation is the most prominent. The EU imports14 of natural gas from Russia, 80% of which is transported through Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine have had many disputes over the cost of natural gas, which has affected Russian natural gas users in other European countries. In 2005, Ukraine faced the problem of defaulting on Russian gas charges.

Relations with Japan

The issue of the South Kuril Islands (called the four northern islands in Japan) has become the biggest obstacle to the all-round development of Russian-Japanese relations. Because the territorial dispute between the two countries has not been resolved for a long time, the peace treaty as the basis of the relationship has not been signed, which has affected the development of bilateral relations.
