2026 and 2027 also mark the "China-Russia Years of Education," the first national-level thematic years dedicated to education between the two countries. At present, more than 150 joint educational institutions and cooperative programs have been established between Chinese and Russian schools and universities, enabling complementary sharing of educational resources. Fifteen university alliances now include more than 800 higher education institutions, while secondary school alliances bring together more than 140 schools. As an old saying goes, "It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to cultivate people." Mutual understanding and friendship among young people form the deepest public foundation for lasting China-Russia friendship across generations. When young people tell their country"s stories in each other"s languages and forge friendships on each other"s campuses, China-Russia relations gain a long-lasting resilience that no external force can undermine.

　　China and Russia are good neighbors that cannot be moved away, and true friends who share weal and woe. This friendship has withstood the test of time, and this cooperation can shoulder heavy responsibilities. This healthy, stable, and high-level strategic cooperation transcends the bilateral scope, injecting valuable certainty and positive energy into the region and the world, becoming a "ballast" for maintaining peace and stability. No matter what changes occur in the future, China and Russia will move forward calmly, adding precious stability and hope to an uncertain world with the certainty of their relationship.
