"The unfolding international context requires sustained efforts to consolidate and develop a new stage in comprehensive strategic partnership and cooperation between Russia and China," the ministry said in its report on the the outcome of diplomatic work in 2014 and mid-term goals.
The governmental body also stressed that "strategic partnership with India grows in significance."
The ministry included South Korea, China and the Asia-Pacific region as an additional area that warrants increased attention.
It underscored "transparency, equality and mutual benefit" in efforts to open a common market and build regional integration in the Asia-Pacific.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization, that comprises Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, plays an important role in the process of strengthening stability and security in the Asia-Pacific, the ministerial report added.
