President Vladimir Putin said on Aug 21 that Russia's economic and trade links with China are "yielding results" as he welcomed Chinese Premier Li Qiang to the Kremlin.
Moscow has looked to Beijing as an economic lifeline since the Ukraine conflict began, with the two boosting trade to record highs as Russia faces heavy economic sanctions from the West.
"Our trade relations are developing successfully... The attention that the two governments are paying to trade and economic ties is yielding results," Mr Putin said in a meeting with Mr Li.
"Our states have worked out large-scale joint plans, projects in economic and humanitarian spheres, that we expect for many years ahead," he added.
Mr Li told Mr Putin that "Chinese-Russian relations are at an unprecedentedly high level", according to the Kremlin's translation of his remarks, saying Mr Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping had created a "strong impulse for further deepening of bilateral relations".
