Trip to improve exchange in trade, infrastructure and technologies

Ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin's state visit to China starting on Saturday, major cooperative investment programs have been decided on by the China-Russia Investment Cooperation Committee.

The committee's third meeting on Friday in Beijing was co-chaired by Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli and visiting Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, who co-hosted the second meeting roughly a year ago in St. Petersburg, Russia.
