Russian President Vladimir Putin called a plan to achieve the 200 billion dollars target in bilateral trade with China absolutely realistic.
“You know that we have even slightly surpassed our previous targets … and we have achieved the 100 billion dollars target in bilateral trade earlier than we have planned. We had 108 billion dollars last year. Now, we have set the target of 200 billion dollars. It is an absolutely realistic number,” Putin told reporters on Thursday during his visit to Brazil for the BRICS summit.
Beijing and Moscow were working on a plan of joint actions which would help them assess when the new target could be achieved, Putin continued.
The president noted that the two countries enjoyed cooperation on large-scale projects in the space industry, nuclear power and aviation. Putin added there were good prospects for bilateral cooperation in high-tech industries and said that everything went according to plan.
