Among the proposals to be put forward to the Chinese side, Sovenko also named cooperation in the project for creation of a new regional 60-70-seater passenger plane that would meet demands both in China and Ukraine. "The new medium-range transport aircraft An-70 will be the best offer in regard to China's demand for new military and transport aircraft," he said.
