Moscow, March 31 /Xinhua/ — "Despite sanctions pressure and turbulence, as well as global upheavals on global markets, by the end of 2025, the goal previously set by the leaders of Russia and China to reach $200 billion in bilateral trade turnover was significantly exceeded. Russia… has taken fifth place among China's main trading partners," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko told the Izvestia Multimedia Information Center on Tuesday.

"The gradual saturation of our markets with traditional export goods has led to the need to find additional and support already growing new growth areas, such as, for example, trade in agricultural products," he emphasized.

The diplomat noted the high interest in increasing mutual agricultural product supplies and implementing new joint projects, which makes a significant contribution to food security for Russia and China. According to the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, trade turnover in this sector is expected to increase by more than 20 percent in 2025.

“Over the past two years, six festival-fairs have been held in major Chinese cities, introducing Chinese consumers not only to Russian goods but also to our country’s rich cultural heritage,” the diplomat added.
