China is pleased to work with Russia to constantly deepen cooperation on transport, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a press briefing in Beijing on Thursday.
Lin's remarks came one day after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the plan of constructing new highways in the East Section of the M-12 Highway, which is part of the Western Europe-Western China International Transit Corridor and leads up to Russia's border with China, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
"Under the strategic guidance of the two presidents, China-Russia transport cooperation has maintained sustained, sound and steady development, with cross-border connectivity making significant progress and internal driving forces for the mutually-beneficial cooperation becoming increasingly robust," Lin said.
"China stands ready to work with Russia to continue deepening cooperation on transport, and tap the potential for transit transport, so as to facilitate cross-border travels, attract more mutual visits of tourists, and further enrich the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era," he added.
