China says must advance relations with Russia as world becomes more turbulent

China must advance its relations with Russia as the world becomes more turbulent, foreign minister Qin Gang said on Tuesday.

Responding to a question about whether China and Russia would abandon the U.S. dollar or euro in future for trade, Qin told reporters at a news conference on the sidelines of an annual parliamentary meeting in Beijing that countries should use whatever currency that is safe and trustworthy.
