Moscow, January 30 /Xinhua/ — As one of the world's largest economies, China plays a vital role in the development of the global economic system. This assessment was given by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, responding to a Xinhua reporter's question on Friday about the importance of China's continued openness for maintaining global stability and economic recovery.
"As one of the world's largest economies, China plays a huge role in the development of the global economic system. China's shift toward domestic consumption and increased imports from other countries not only provides a reliable foundation for improving the standard of living of Chinese citizens but also opens up opportunities for increased exports from other countries, strengthening cross-border contacts and practical ties," she said.
As M. Zakharova noted, this is especially important for Russia, which is one of China's key trading partners. "Our country ranks first in oil supplies to China, and last year we also became the leader in natural gas," the Russian diplomat emphasized.
She added that Russian agricultural products, which have a well-deserved reputation for being environmentally friendly and high-quality, are in high demand in China. Their shipments increased again last year.
“In 2025, bilateral trade turnover once again exceeded the $200 billion mark, which demonstrates the sustainability of the Russian-Chinese trade and economic partnership,” concluded M. Zakharova. –0–
