? Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zakharova said at the press conference of the 11th Eastern Economic Forum held in Vladivostok, Russia on September 1 that practical cooperation between Russia and China is showing a trend of “improving quality and growth.” In response to the question of whether practical cooperation between China and Russia is shifting from quantitative growth to qualitative improvement, Zakharova said that these two are not opposing each other but rather mutually reinforcing, and that the improvement in the quality of cooperation between the two sides in related fields has led to quantitative growth. She said that economic and trade cooperation between Russia and China has been developing steadily, and the bilateral trade volume has exceeded 200 billion US dollars for several years in a row. Furthermore, almost all settlements between the two countries are carried out in local currency, which fully reflects the growth in both quantity and quality of cooperation between the two sides. Zakharova also said that Russia and China are implementing large-scale cooperation projects in various industrial fields, focusing on developing cooperation in the fields of science and high technology, and that connectivity between the two countries in the field of transportation is also constantly developing.
