China-Russia cooperation has huge potential

MOSCOW, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- The China-Russia strategic partnership has advanced recently and should reach new heights in the future, Russian experts say.

This year, Russia and China witnessed intensive bilateral political communication and multi-layer cooperation, said Sergei Sanakoyev, head of the Russia-China Center for Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited China in June, during which leaders of the two countries laid out the blueprint for bilateral relations for the next decade.

Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang's visit to Russia in spring elevated bilateral cooperation to a higher level.

In September, Chinese President Hu Jintao participated in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Russia's Far Eastern city of Vladivostok, during which leaders from the two sides vowed to deepen their strategic cooperation.

This week, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visits Russia and attends the 17th regular meeting between the Chinese and Russian heads of government in Moscow.
