中国坚定支持俄罗斯维护国家安全与稳定
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei has said China firmly supports Russia's efforts to safeguard its national security and stability through anti-terrorism measures.
中国外交部发言人洪磊表示，中国坚定地支持俄罗斯通过反恐措施保护国家安全与稳定所做出的努力。
"China is willing to work with Russia, as well as the international community to increase cooperation in security, face together the threats and challenges posed by terrorism and safeguard world peace and stability."
Hong Lei made the remarks in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's appeal to partners to find and punish the terrorists involved in the October 31 Russian plane downing over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
Earlier the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) confirmed the crash was caused by a terrorist attack.
Hong Lei's remarks also come as Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has called for joint actions against terrorism.
