CHINA-RUSSIA: ENERGY
|
Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said Russia may consider allowing Chinese investors more than 50 percent stakes in its strategic oil and gas fields. He told a conference in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk on February 27, 2015: "We have a strategic partnership with China and now decisions are made much faster than before. In particular, we have a gas contract, a second one will be signed soon. Now we know China better: their motives and intentions are understood. There used to be a psychological barrier. Now it doesn't exist any more. We are interested in maximum investments in new industries. China is an obvious investor for us."
