"In recent years, China has made a tremendous breakthrough in its development. It causes genuine interest all over the world, and we even envy you a little," he added.

Putin highlighted the balanced relations between the two countries on international issues, confirming that Moscow is aware that China is deeply interested in developing ties with Russia.

"I know that you personally, all our Chinese friends pay great attention to the development of Russian-Chinese relations, take a fair, balanced position on most pressing international problems."

In a ten-year period, both nations were able to expand their cooperation significantly and expand their economic ties to historic levels, the Russian President told Xi, noting that the trade turnover between Russia and China currently sits at nearly $185 billion.
