During her speech, Shen said the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era has continuously proceeded to a high level under the strategic leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Women and children from China and Russia have participated in exchanges of diverse formats and with rich significances. Those activities have been held with the purpose of recalling China-Russia friendly relations over generations, adhering to the aspiration of achieving cooperation and a win-win relationship, putting into practice the consensus reached by State leaders of the two countries, laying a foundation based on people's willingness to be good neighbors, good friends and partners forever, Shen noted. Such exchanges have contributed to the writing of a new chapter of China-Russia good-neighborliness and friendship and to advancing the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Denisov said Russia attaches great importance to the development of, and communications between, women and children of the two countries. Russia is willing to make efforts with China and will never forget the original aspiration of keeping Russia-China friendly cooperation and a win-win relationship over generations, Denisov added. Russia is also willing to deepen women and children's cooperation in various fields, help children of the two countries "sow a seed of peace and friendship" from a young age, and to strengthen the social foundation of friendly Russia-China ties, Denisov added.

Li Hui, Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Eurasian Affairs, said the China-Russia friendship needs to be inherited over generations, and the long-term stability of the bilateral relationship needs to continue. Li said he hoped Chinese and Russian children will study hard, learn good practices from each other, grow up to be pillars supporting the development of their countries, and be qualified successors who pass on the progress of China-Russia friendly relations.

During the ceremony, Shen and Denisov joined Chinese and Russian children as they watched demonstrations of some projects on aerospace-related technology and innovation. The demonstrations included watching robots performing a dance to welcome guests, walking along a road decorated — on both sides of the road — with figure boards of famous astronauts waving their hands, watching a VR (virtual reality) show of outer space, using a 3D (three-dimensional) pen to draw a spacecraft model and write the words "friendship between China and Russia over generations," and watching a model displaying spacecraft in operation. The guests and children who attended the ceremony learned about the history of China and Russia's aerospace development. They also watched CNCC's second aerospace models competition and related demonstrations.

Shen and Denisov unveiled a board for the establishment of "China-Russia children's friendship woods," located in the CNCC. They had messages for the children: Hope Chinese and Russian children will grow up as strong as the silver birch seedlings; and the children will have a glittering youth and a promising future.

Shen and Denisov communicated cordially with children from both countries. Shen encouraged the children to show their love for nature, protect the environment, have passion for studying the sciences, be courageous and explore innovation, love peace, cherish friendship, and make efforts to become constructors of their nations and successors of the China-Russia friendship.
