Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference in Beijing that his country is ready to expand energy supplies to China. He noted that the two countries have the opportunity to act more independently in global markets by developing closer cooperation in the energy sector.
According to Lavrov, Moscow and Beijing have sufficient resources and opportunities and can strengthen cooperation to reduce the influence of the United States on global energy markets. This statement was made on the eve of Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to China, scheduled for May.
Russia also said that it is ready to compensate for the energy shortage that may arise due to the tense situation in the Middle East. This could lead to the formation of a new balance in the global energy market.
It is noteworthy that a few days before Putin's visit, former US President Donald Trump is also expected to hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
