Since the beginning of this year, China and Russia have been further promoting strategic coordination and comprehensive practical cooperation between the two countries.
A series of new achievements have been made in the fields of politics, economy and trade, science and technology, energy and the military.
With China being Russia's top trading partner for many consecutive years, their bilateral trade exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars in 2018 for the first time and has maintained the momentum despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
Official statistics showed that, in the first 10 months of this year, China-Russia trade in goods reached a record of 115.6 billion dollars, topping the whole-year volume of 2020.
In March, China and Russia signed a memorandum of understanding on jointly establishing an international scientific research station on the moon.
The China-Russia Year of Scientific and Technological Innovation concluded last month, which saw more than 1,000 events for exchanges on scientific innovation and cooperation.
The No. 7 and No. 8 units of the Tianwan nuclear power plant and the No. 3 and No. 4 units of the Xudapu nuclear power plant started construction in May, which are the biggest China-Russia joint project in the field of nuclear energy.
A joint military exercise between China and Russia has been carried out in northwest China. The two militaries also strengthened coordination via participating in the "Peace Mission 2021" counter-terrorism military drill and the International Army Games 2021.
