Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin arrived on a visit to China

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin flew to Shanghai on Monday.

This is his first official visit to China as Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.
In Shanghai on Tuesday, Mishustin will speak at the plenary session of the Russian-Chinese Business Forum, visit the Shanghai Research Institute of Petrochemistry of Sinopec Corporation and meet with representatives of Russian business circles.
After that, the head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation will go to Beijing. There he is scheduled to hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier of the State Council Li Qiang. As a result, bilateral agreements will be signed.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin earlier expressed hope that the visit of Mishustin and the Russian delegation would further strengthen cooperation between Moscow and Beijing, enrich humanitarian and regional exchanges, and generally "give a powerful impetus to the recovery of the global economy."
During his visit to Moscow on March 20-22, Xi Jinping invited the head of the Russian government to visit China as soon as possible to establish close ties with the new premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, appointed earlier in March. Mishustin accepted this invitation. He also expressed confidence that he would be able to establish a constructive friendly dialogue with Li Qiang, writes TASS.
