Trade between Russia and China has continued to grow this year, hitting $129 billion in the first nine months, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko said on Friday.
Speaking via video link at the 26th regular session between the Chinese and Russian heads of government, the Deputy PM said trade turnover surged nearly 30% during the first three quarters.
“China is our key trading partner. Despite external challenges, our relations are developing in all directions. The main task for the coming period is to consolidate the positive dynamics of trade growth,” Chernyshenko said.
The official said the partnership is seeing strong momentum in various fields, and Russia wants to work with China to further develop relations.
In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed the strong economic ties with Beijing, noting that in 2021, Russia-China trade reached a record $146 billion.
Earlier this year, Beijing’s ambassador to Moscow expressed hope that bilateral trade could hit $200 billion this year. He stressed that economic cooperation is showing excellent results, despite the challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, the global economic downturn, and difficult international and regional situations.

Mohsen Rezaee, a member of the Expediency Discernment Council, has said preconditions include reparations and security guarantees
For the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US to conclude, the latter must withdraw its military forces from the Persian Gulf, according to a member of the advisory board of Iran’s supreme leader.

The spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has accused the United States and Israel of deploying a rebranded copy of Iran’s Shahed-136 drone, designated “Lucas,” to carry out attacks on civilian infrastructure in regional countries as part of a deliberate false-flag operation aimed at framing the Islamic Republic.
In an official statement released today, the spokesman explained that after suffering military setbacks on the battlefield and failing to build political coalitions against Iran, the enemy has resorted to deception.
The statement specifically warned that the objective of these operations is to “create doubt and accuse the Islamic Republic of Iran” while sowing discord between Tehran and its neighbors, thereby undermining the legitimacy of Iran’s defensive actions.
The spokesman pointed to a series of “suspicious attacks” in recent days on facilities in friendly neighboring countries, including Turkey, Kuwait, and Iraq, which Western media outlets and hostile ...

According to the IRGC statement, Al Kharj base served as the "origin of aggressions against the Islamic homeland," functioning as the staging ground for US F-35 and F-16 fighter jets involved in attacks on Iran.
The base also houses fuel supply aircraft and serves as the main hub for American AWACS surveillance planes.
Concurrently, the spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters confirmed that the fiftieth wave of the operation struck multiple US terrorist army bases.
