“There is every reason to believe that we will achieve our goals at the level of trade turnover, maybe even earlier than planned,” he said at a meeting with the head of the office of the commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on foreign affairs, a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Wang Yi.

The Russian Consulate General in Harbin previously reported that the volume of cargo transportation across the Russian-Chinese border hit a record at the beginning of 2023.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that half of the trade turnover between Russia and China is serviced in yuan and rubles.
