Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing, while President Xi Jinping is planning to pay a state visit to Russia this year, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Friday.

The two countries enjoy deep political trust, win-win economic cooperation, and support each other in international affairs, Wang told a news conference, saying that bilateral trade volume between the two last year exceeded $100 billion.

China and Russia will consolidate traditional cooperation in energy, and explore cooperation in new areas like technology, agriculture, e-commerce and finance, he said.

The two sides will work to ensure the Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union best complement each other, he said.
