Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu told Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that Moscow continues to support Beijing over Taiwan, TASS news agency reported.

"We see that China's ill wishers continue to destabilize the situation in the Taiwan Strait. For our part, I want to reaffirm our consistent and unwavering support for Beijing on the Taiwan issue," Shoigu said.

"We proceed from the fact that the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing all of China," he added.

Shoigu, a former Russian defense minister, arrived in China earlier on Sunday.
