On October 29, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at the plenary meeting of the “Russia Is Calling” Investment Forum that it must be recognized that China is still the driving force of the world economy.
Although the growth rate may not meet China’s own goals, the growth rate of the Chinese economy is significant.
Putin said that Russia believes that the Asia-Pacific region is an important market with development prospects and attaches great importance to deepening economic cooperation with this region.
In the energy sector, Russia is actively expanding its natural gas supply to Asian countries, especially China, Japan, and India.
