Xi noted that two months ago, he and Putin reached a series of consensus during Putin's China trip on enhancing bilateral ties and expanding cooperation, and jointly lifted their comprehensive and strategic partnership of coordination to a new height.

To ensure the implementation of these cooperation projects, relevant departments and enterprises of the two countries have maintained close contact and negotiations in the past two months, said Xi.

The two sides should also take more pragmatic and joint actions in military and security fields, he said.

Xi urged the two countries to take more joint actions in international affairs, jointly promote cooperation among BRICS countries, increase their saying and influence, improve global governance, push forward democratization in international relations and promote world peace and development.

He said Russia is willing to make joint efforts with China to implement those agreements in an all-round and timely manner, chart the course of future cooperation, expand trade and investment scale and pay more attention to cooperation in energy, science and technology, among others.

He urged an early start of the negotiation on Russia-China west line gas supply project, calling on the two countries to jointly safeguard cyber security and enhance coordination under the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the G20.
