MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Trade between Russia and China in January-November reached over $200 billion and could hit as much as $220 billion by the end of the year, the acting head of the Russian Customs Service, Ruslan Davydov, said on Monday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, set a goal to reach $200 billion in bilateral trade by 2024 back in February 2022, after the previous threshold of $100 billion was attained in 2018.
"Our data indicate that $201.5 billion [was registered] in 11 months. That is, we have already achieved the goal set by our leaders in 11 months. Our forecast is that annual trade with China will be about $220 billion," Davydov told the Rossiya 24 broadcaster.
