As for relations between China and Russia, Minnikhanov emphasised that there are great opportunities for bilateral cooperation in the future.
"We have a great interest in partnerships with Chinese regions, and there are great possibilities there. Good relations between the Chinese leader and the Russian leader allow us to build relations with the regions of the People's Republic of China," he added.

So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
