The NPC and the Russian Parliament should provide firm support to each other on major issues involving state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security, he said.
The two should also reinforce strategic cooperation in international and regional parliamentary organizations, safeguard common benefits, and create a conducive environment for the development of the two countries, Wu said.

He also urged the implementation of already-signed cooperation agreements, and for support to help Chinese and Russian enterprises find new opportunities for cooperation within each other's economic stimulus plans.
The NPC and the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian Parliament, should also be actively engaged in activities commemorating the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties and to broadly share the idea of friendship between the two nations, Wu said.
Gryzlov said parliamentary cooperation between Russia and China has served a significant and unique role in the fast development of bilateral ties.
Especially since the two parliaments established a regular exchange mechanism, more and more Duma legislators have been involved in promoting friendship between the two countries, he said.
The State Duma hopes to further strengthen its ties with the NPC, and to promote bilateral cooperation in areas such as politics, economy, culture, environment, anti-terrorism and anti-drug smuggling, Gryzlov said.
Wu is in Moscow for an official visit to Russia. Since arriving in Moscow on Wednesday, the legislator has met with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Sergei Mironov, chairman of the upper chamber of the Russian Parliament, known as the Federation Council.
