Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming said Friday that he hoped Russia will continue to properly handle problems relating to the rights of Chinese business people after the closing of a Moscow market.

During talks with Russian Economic Development Minister Elvira Nabiullina in Beijing, Chen called for more legal assistance and information services for Chinese merchants working in Russia.

The Chinese government would take active measures to help adjust business operations in Russia, Chen said.
