In Ningbo, China, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Vice Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China He Lifeng held the 29th meeting of the Russian-Chinese Commission for the Preparation of Regular Meetings of Heads of Government.
Also participating in the event from the Russian side were Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the People's Republic of China Igor Morgulov, State Secretary and Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Dmitry Zverev, Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media of the Russian Federation Grigory Borisenko, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Alexey Gruzdev, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Vladimir Ilyichev, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Maxim Markovich, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Denis Sekirinsky, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation Dmitry Tetenkin, and others.
Participants from the Chinese side included Deputy Secretary-General of the State Council of the People's Republic of China Xu Shouben, Vice Minister of Science and Technology Chen Jiachang, Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology Zhang Yunming, Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, Director of the China National Space Administration, Director of the China Atomic Energy Administration Shan Zhongde, Vice Minister of Ecology and Environment Guo Fang, Vice Minister of Housing, Urban-Rural Development Chen Shaowang, Vice Minister of Transport Li Yang, Vice Minister of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, Deputy Representative of the People's Republic of China in International Trade Negotiations Lin Ji, and others.
He Lifeng noted that under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the two sides are promoting the stable development of high-level bilateral relations.
He also emphasized the systematic work within the framework of the plan for the development of key areas of Russian-Chinese economic cooperation until 2030.
According to He Lifeng, copper and nickel exports have increased significantly, agricultural product access is expanding, and new forms of trade, such as cross-border e-commerce, are emerging. Trade turnover will remain high in 2025. The Vice Premier of the State Council of China placed particular emphasis on cooperation along the Northern Sea Route and also noted the progress made in cooperation in the automotive industry and artificial intelligence, the establishment of a working group on municipal solid waste, and the holding of the first meeting of the working group on climate change.
Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated his Chinese colleagues on the successful Fourth Plenum of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He stated that the objectives outlined at the meeting—high-quality development, increasing scientific and technological self-sufficiency, and establishing a modern production system—are fully aligned with the goals of the Russian-Chinese economic cooperation plan through 2030. The two countries' joint efforts to develop industrial cooperation, enhance technological sovereignty, and implement innovation directly align with China's commitment to strengthening its scientific and technological base and achieving new breakthroughs in deepening reforms.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that strengthening a comprehensive, equal, and trusting partnership and strategic interaction with friendly China is a priority for Russian foreign policy. This is confirmed by the heads of state – Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping – holding two face-to-face meetings this year alone, at which they set goals for expanding trade and economic cooperation. Their dialogue is systematic and regular, characterized by a high level of trust and mutual understanding. This is underscored by the Chinese President's visit to Moscow to participate in the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, and the Russian President's return visit to Beijing for celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of Victory over Japan and the end of World War II.
"China is our key partner on the global stage. Russia ranked fifth among China's partners by the end of 2024. Mutual trade reached a historic high last year, surpassing $245 billion. Despite external restrictions, maintaining trade in positive territory is a significant joint achievement. I am confident that our meeting today will facilitate the implementation of the agreements reached by the heads of state and government in all areas of practical cooperation between our countries and will further contribute to the successful holding of the 30th regular meeting of heads of government tomorrow," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
He thanked He Lifeng for his great contribution to reaching agreements between the countries and effectively protecting the economic interests of China and Russia.
The Deputy Prime Minister outlined promising areas, including opening the Chinese market to Russian winter wheat and barley, fuel pellets, and increasing natural gas supplies via new routes. Active work is also underway on industrial cooperation projects in the automotive industry, forestry, rare earth metal mining and processing, and other promising products.
Holding "Made in Russia" festivals and fairs in China with the participation of Russian artists and athletes has become a good tradition.
Dmitry Chernyshenko added that the day before, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, as part of the intergovernmental commission on humanitarian cooperation in Beijing, drew special attention to the holding of cross-Years of Education between Russia and China.
The Russian-Chinese Commission for the Preparation of Regular Meetings of Heads of Government comprises 14 subcommissions and 60 working groups. This meeting marked the final stage of preparations for the 30th regular meeting of the heads of government of Russia and China, which will take place on November 3 in Hangzhou. A final protocol was agreed upon today, which will be signed during the meeting.
