“For a long time, we know that allegedly there is a list, which includes 40 projects. They had been prepared in the framework of the connection of the Eurasian economic belt “Economic zone silk road”. But no one has yet heard, and there was written that some of these projects even the slightest progress, because until we find mutually beneficial points of cooperation with China. Because China, it is clear that this is not a charity project, they want to stimulate its own economy. Engage with Chinese companies on an equal footing we do not, because there is no money. In principle, it raises questions payback project, which, apparently, was proposed by the Chinese side, their rationality, their feasibility, and so on. I don’t think there will be any breakthrough. I think that will be announced any projects, which again will be under the brand name “silk road” or “belt” as they now call after the may forum. I believe that we have a space for economic cooperation between Russia and China is shrinking. Most things that could be done has already been done. More oil to buy China will not be in gas projects is also very difficult, because we are one of the suppliers and do not occupy a monopoly position”.
XI Jinping and Vladimir Putin will also meet on 7-8 July at the summit “Big twenty”. There the President of Russia, possibly, will meet with U.S. President Donald trump. The leaders of the United States and China met in early April and then the two sides recognized the results of the meeting positive. The Chinese leader’s visit to Moscow ahead of a possible meeting with trump will give the Russian side of the weight in the negotiations, said the academician, head of the center for international security Institute of world economy and international relations Alexei Arbatov.
