Despite the disapproval of the event: China plans to deepen trade ties with the Russian Federation - Reuters

These two allies emphasized their willingness to strengthen economic ties, despite the criticism of the West in connection with the war in Ukraine caused by the invasion of Russian troops. About it reports Reuters. On Tuesday, September 19, the Minister of Economic Development of Russia held "deep" talks on cooperation in the field of economy with the Chinese Minister of Trade in Beijing.

These negotiations coincided with the visit of the Chinese Diplomat Van and Moscow for strategic consultations. As a result, it was confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit China next month. China Wang Wang Trade Minister has stated in negotiations in Beijing that the Chinese-Russian economic and trade cooperation continues to deepen and becomes "stronger" under the "strategic leadership" of the heads of two states.

As the Russian Federation against Ukraine has been going on for the second year, and Russia has been negatively influenced by Western sanctions, Moscow is largely entrusted with its strategic partner in Beijing for economic support. This is done by meeting China's demand for Russian oil and gas, as well as grain supply. According to the latest Chinese customs, in August, Russian goods imported to China by 3% compared to the previous year, reaching $ 11. 5 billion.

Beijing excludes the criticism of the event against the intensification of his partnership with Moscow against the background of Russia's war against Ukraine. He insists that these links do not violate international rules and China has the right to cooperate with any country at his discretion. Recall that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin intends to visit China in October to meet with the China's leader Xi Jinping.

On August 22, the head of the Russian company Polymetal Vitaliy Narviae said he plans to sell it to new owners, including investors from China. The reason for the sale is the attempt to bypass the US sanctions and hope not to lose business in the Russian Federation. Representatives of the PRC assure that reports are spreading "irresponsible media", while they do everything for peace in Ukraine.
