MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia and China's foreign ministers on Sunday discussed their relations with the United States and the prospects for ending the war in Ukraine, China and Russia's foreign ministries said in a statement.

President Vladimir Putin's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, in Beijing on Sunday. Lavrov is due to attend a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's (SCO) foreign ministers in China.

"The importance of strengthening close coordination between the two countries in the international arena, including in the United Nations and its Security Council, the SCO, BRICS, the G20 and APEC, was emphasized," the ministry said.

The close contact between the two countries was to "promote the development and revitalisation of each other, and jointly respond to the challenges brought about by a turbulent and changing world," China's Foreign Ministry said.

Both sides also exchanged views on the Korean Peninsula and the Iranian nuclear issue, China's Foreign Ministry said.

China and Russia declared a "no limits" partnership in February 2022 when Putin visited Beijing, days before he sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine. Putin has sometimes described China as an "ally".

The U.S. casts China as its biggest competitor and Russia as its biggest nation-state threat.

It will be difficult to deal with later, but us in the coaching team made the choice of players, and we have never been cowardly to make a decision, but sometimes things do not go your way.” Read more:

Federal Judge Reverses Biden-Era Medical Debt Credit Rule

  A federal judge in Texas has thrown a wrench into the financial lives of nearly 15 million Americans by reversing a Biden administration rule that aimed to wipe $50 million in medical debt from credit reports. The decision, handed down on July 11, 2025, by U.S. District Judge Sean Jordan, strikes at a policy finalised by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in January, just before Joe Biden left office. Jordan ruled that the Fair Credit Reporting Act does not grant the CFPB authority to remove medical debt, effectively halting a measure that could have boosted credit scores by an average of 20 points and enabled 22,000 additional mortgages annually. For millions, this reversal could mean higher borrowing costs and limited access to loans, raising urgent questions about personal financial stability.
