Russian-Chinese projects open up new vistas of cooperation

Russia and China have signed some 20 agreements in the key areas of cooperation during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s state visit to China. Earlier, the two countries normally focused on the field of energy, whereas now decisions have been made on a wide range of issues. This graphically illustrates Vladimir Putin’s statement that he made during his meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao. He said that bilateral cooperation has reached an unprecedented level and quality.
Russia and China are continuing to cooperate in the fields of energy and transport machine building, but a new major priority has emerged, the one that has to do with innovations. The two leaders voiced certainty during their talks that both Russia and China agree that the high-tech industry and the making of products that can effectively compete on global markets hold quite a potential. That is why one of the documents signed is an agreement between the Skolkovo foundation and the Beijing techno-park, says the head of the Skolkovo foundation, Victor Vekselberg, and elaborates.
«Part of the project is a wide range of partnership relations that have to do both with an active and open exchange of information about advanced technology solutions, reached by each of the two technological clusters, and an exchange of residents, the setting up of joint research teams, and promoting jointly-made products on the market. Compared to Skolkovo, Beijing’s techno-park is, of course, a major association of China’s advanced high-tech companies, with more than 18,000 companies operating as part of it. Therefore, Skolkovo’s potential for cooperation with Beijing is really great.»
Some of the main areas of the forthcoming cooperation are energy efficiency, the creation of new materials and biomedicine. But Russia and China will also cooperate in their traditionally well developed information technology field.
