Beijing seeks to cooperate with Moscow 'on larger scale'

Vice-President Li Yuanchao assured visiting Russian Presidential Chief of Staff Sergei Ivanov on Thursday that Beijing is determined to expand cooperation with Moscow.

"China is willing to work with Russia to fully implement the fruits of a meeting between the two nations' leaders in Shanghai and conduct cooperation on a larger scale and with greater depth," Li told Ivanov on the sidelines of the Eco Forum Global Annual Conference 2014 in Guiyang, Guizhou province.

In May, the two countries signed a number of agreements during Russian President Vladimir Putin's state visit to China. President Xi Jinping met with Ivanov in Beijing on Wednesday.
