Chinese, Russian Youth to Swim over Border River

DISCUSSION

CHINESE

SEND TO FRIEND

More than 100 Chinese and Russian young people are to swim over the Heilongjiang (known as Amur in Russia) River Wednesday morning to mark the anniversary of the signing of a friendship treaty between the two countries.

On July 16 last year, China and Russia signed a new treaty on good neighborliness, friendship and cooperation in Moscow, Russia.

The treaty, hailed to be a milestone in the history of Sino-Russian relations, sets out in legal terms the sincere aspiration and determination of China and Russia to enjoy a lasting friendship without hostility.

The young people from the two countries are expected to start the cross-river swim from Heihe city in China's Heilongjiang Province, and the Russian city of Blagoveshchensk.

China and Russia share a common border thousands of kilometers long.
