Moscow, August 13 /Xinhua/ — Russia considers the alignment of China's Belt and Road initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) an important component of the strategic partnership between Russia and China, Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexey Fadeyev said at a press briefing on Wednesday.
"Russia, as a member state of the EAEU, together with its colleagues in the union, interacts with China within the framework of the alignment of the EAEU development plans and the Chinese initiative "Belt and Road". The goal is to take this process to a new level of implementation of joint projects. We consider the link between the initiative "Belt and Road" and the EAEU as an important component of the strategic partnership between our countries," A. Fadeyev noted, answering a question from a Xinhua correspondent.
According to him, the Chinese “Belt and Road” project is in line with Russian ideas for creating an open integration circuit on the Eurasian continent, where freedom of trade and movement of labor would be fully ensured and modern infrastructure would be established.
“Systematic steps in this direction will help solve this problem and strengthen the interconnectedness of the countries of the region,” he believes.
“And it is precisely in this paradigm that the concept of the Greater Eurasian Partnership put forward by our president operates, creating conditions for an equal dialogue with the aim of consolidating the potential of states and regional organizations based on the EAEU, SCO and ASEAN, as well as synchronizing national development programs, including the Belt and Road,” A. Fadeyev emphasized. –0–
