My comment: I focuss on economic agreements because it is where I unerstand how important they are for both countries. I guess they signed other important agreements in other fields too.
Most agreements are strategic relationships in the energy field. To be honest, I cannot describe easily how important and deep those agreements are for both countries. Maybe the best way is to compare when China joined international institutions during Nixon era. Those agreements are extremely important for Russia as well because somehow they grant wealth for a whole generation of Russians and they open the East Asian markets to Russians through China. In volume, those agreements are above the amount of usual stimulous packs that major economies such as USA or China handle nowadays. It also gives an idea on how important those agreements are. Just some of them: Russia, China work on gigantic oil, gas co-op project http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-10/14/content_12226374.htm Putin’s China Visit Helps Russia Become Global Energy Supplier http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aNSkMKt_Syic Putin strikes multi-billion deals with China http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ICKBFIwpTk Besides energy suplies and infraestructure projects, through these agreements China is giving huge loans to Russia and taking more stakes in Russian corporations, it will make those those relations stronger, more stable and long term oriented too. Peace and best wishes. Xi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World-thread" group.
