At\u00a0the\u00a0same time, our relations<br \/>\nare self-sufficient, do not depend on\u00a0the\u00a0current international situation, and\u00a0can serve as\u00a0an\u00a0example of\u00a0relations between nations in\u00a0this age.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding our talks today, they were held in\u00a0a\u00a0traditionally warm, comradely and\u00a0constructive atmosphere. We held in-depth<br \/>\ndiscussions on\u00a0all key aspects of\u00a0our bilateral cooperation. The\u00a0joint<br \/>\nstatement we have signed following these talks outlines the\u00a0priority spheres of\u00a0our interaction. <\/p>\n<p>We have signed a\u00a0large package, or\u00a0more<br \/>\nprecisely about 40 intergovernmental, interagency and\u00a0corporate documents. Some of\u00a0them have been signed here.<br \/>\nMany of\u00a0these focus on\u00a0the\u00a0further deepening of\u00a0our economic cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0would like to\u00a0emphasise that Russia and\u00a0China<br \/>\nare important trade partners for\u00a0each other. In\u00a02025, our trade reached nearly US$240<br \/>\nbillion, and\u00a0its structure has expanded, including due to\u00a0high added-value<br \/>\ngoods. <\/p>\n<p>Modern enterprises in\u00a0both Russia and\u00a0China<br \/>\nhave greatly contributed to\u00a0the\u00a0growth of\u00a0mutual trade. Our coordinated actions<br \/>\nto\u00a0transition settlements between them, as\u00a0well as\u00a0between our countries in\u00a0general, to\u00a0payments in\u00a0national currencies have been of\u00a0great importance in\u00a0this regard. As\u00a0a\u00a0result, nearly all Russia-China export-import transactions are made in\u00a0rubles and\u00a0yuan. In\u00a0other words,<br \/>\nwe have actually created a\u00a0stable system of\u00a0mutual trade that is protected from<br \/>\nexternal influence and\u00a0negative trends in\u00a0the\u00a0global markets.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0would like to\u00a0point out that Russia and\u00a0China<br \/>\nare actively cooperating in\u00a0the\u00a0sphere of\u00a0energy. Our country is one of\u00a0the\u00a0largest exporters of\u00a0oil, natural gas (including LNG) and\u00a0coal to\u00a0China. We are<br \/>\ndefinitely ready to\u00a0continue to\u00a0ensure reliable and\u00a0uninterrupted supplies of\u00a0these types of\u00a0fuel to\u00a0the\u00a0rapidly growing Chinese market.<\/p>\n<p> To\u00a0be continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President of\u00a0Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr President, Ladies and\u00a0gentlemen, friends, First of\u00a0all, I\u00a0would like to\u00a0express my\u00a0sincere gratitude to\u00a0our dear&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":973025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7655],"tags":[12,7574,332,123580],"class_list":["post-973024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-russia","tag-news","tag-president","tag-russia","tag-transcripts"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116606326128818668","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/973024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=973024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/973024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/973025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=973024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=973024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=973024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
