New era dawns for expanding Sino-Russian businesses

As Russia's top trading partner since 2010, China has played an increasingly important role in boosting business and economic growth between the two. Under the new era - with cooperation and mutual development of major significance - the countries will further strengthen their ties and expand their work together in various fields. Sergey Katyrin, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, shares his views on joint projects and prospects for the future.

Which fields have China and Russia cooperated closely on before? Could you give some examples?

One example of the practical interaction is the continuing work on joining up the Eurasian Economic Union (Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan treaty) with projects under China's Belt and Road Initiative.
