Russian-Chinese cooperation is expanding - Chinese officials
US KHATYN (Yakutia). Sept 1 (Interfax) - China is hoping to expand cooperation with Russia and opposes the western sanctions on Russia.
"I want to reiterate that China flatly opposes the U.S. and Western sanctions on Russia, opposes 'colored revolutions,' and opposes attempts to hinder the development of Russia," Chinese State Council Deputy Premier Zhang Gaoli said while meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday.
"We will do our best to ensure everything that you need, our cooperation is expanding considerably, including in the trade in agricultural products," Gaoli said.
Putin, for his part, said: "As to trade and economic restrictions, the damage will eventually fall primarily on those who pursue such policies."
"I hope common sense will prevail and we will all go into normal cooperation mode," he said.
