Trade between Russia and China grew by 56 percent in January-September
amounting to 42 billion US dollars, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin said at the talks in the extended format with Chinese Prime
Minister Wen Jiabao on Tuesday.
"As for trade and economic relations, they have stood the test of
the crisis," he said. "Over nine months of the current year, trade
turnover grew by 56 percent and amounted to 42 billion US dollars."
"The volume of trade in some kinds of goods grew considerably," Putin
went on to say, adding that there was an 83-percent growth in timber
and a 40-percent growth in supplies of electric power.
"Russian-Chinese strategic partnership is a major factor for the
strengthening of stability and security in the world and in the
Asia-Pacific Region," Putin added. He said relations between the
two countries "don't depend on external conjuncture, and develop
dynamically in all spheres - politics, economy, science, education
and culture".
"I am confident that today's talks and joint work will give another
powerful impetus to the development of interstate relations," he
summed up. Besides, Putin noted that a ceremony closing the Chinese
Season in Russia and the Russian Season in China would be held on
Wednesday. He stressed that these seasons had been successful and
thanked everybody taking part in them.
Wen Jiabao, for his part, noted that "considerable progress in
cooperation between Russia and China" has been reached over the past
year. According to him, constant summit-level contacts let the two
countries coordinate their policies.
"China and Russia support each other in different issues, including
those that concern sovereignty, and thus they ensure security in the
region and in the world," the Chinese prime minister noted.
He urged the two countries to boost efforts in order to ensure
stability in the border regions.
