China and Russia will strive for achieving a trading volume of 200 billion dollars as soon as possible, said Li.
To that end, the two sides will continue to carry out large-scale strategic projects in the fields of energy, aviation, aerospace, and infrastructure, and tap the potential in regional cooperation, small and medium-sized enterprises, and other fields, he added.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, and the two countries will hold a series of grand events for the celebration.
"It will surely push China-Russia relations in various areas to a new height in history."
