Adviser to the
President of the Russian Federation Anton Kobyakov and Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary of the PRC to the Russian Federation Zhang Hanhui met in
Moscow. The parties discussed the participation of the Chinese delegation in
the 5th Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held on 4–6 September in Vladivostok.
The meeting
participants noted that the year 2019 marks 70 years of diplomatic relations
between our countries, emphasizing that the parties took Russian-Chinese
relations to an all-time high level. In turn, this attests to neighbourly
coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation.
“In June this year, during
the visit of President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping to Russia,
the countries announced the start of a new era of affairs. Our trade and
economic relations hold vast potential, especially considering the development
of the Eurasian Economic Community and the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative.
China traditionally takes an active part in the Roscongress Foundation events
such as the Eastern Economic Forum, the St. Petersburg International Economic
Forum, the International Arctic Forum and many others. I am confident that the
upcoming visit of the Chinese delegation to Vladivostok will be a success and
contribute to the further development of cooperation between Russia and China,”
said Anton Kobyakov.
Zhang Hanhui emphasized
that in 2018, trade between Russia and China reached USD 107 billion. Russian President
Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping set a goal to double trade
between our countries by 2024.
The ambassador also spoke
about the members of the Chinese delegation to participate in the 5th Eastern
Economic Forum.

of the PRC will attend the Forum in Vladivostok. State Council Vice Premier Hu
Chunhua is to lead the delegation,” stated Zhang Hanhui.
