Medvedev Says ‘Fast-Growing’ China Poses No Danger to Russia
MOSCOW, October 26 (RIA Novosti) – Russia has nothing to fear from the fast-growing China, but could benefit from this cooperation, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said in a televised interview Saturday.
In an interview with Vesti on Saturday on Russia 1 TV channel, Medvedev said Russia should cooperate with Beijing in high-technology areas, adding that China, the world's second largest economy, was not a dangerous neighbor but Russia’s “strategic partner.”
Earlier this week, Medvedev paid a two-day visit to natural resource-hungry China during which it was announced that state-owned oil giant Rosneft signed an agreement with China’s largest state refiner Sinopec to supply 10 million tons of oil a year for a decade.
A separate deal announced in Beijing said that Rosneft and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) agreed on the launch schedule principles for the Tianjin oil refinery.
“These technologies are ours, to a great extent. And this is good. It means that they will work and we will work,” Medvedev said.
