Russia and China will discuss cooperation in the energy sector and in aerospace during President Vladimir Putin's visit to Beijing on June 25, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said.
Putin's delegation will include the head of Russia's top oil producer Rosneft, Igor Sechin, Ushakov said, adding that he has no information on whether the potential participation of Chinese companies in Rosneft's part-privatisation will be discussed during the visit.
"The two sides will also discuss cooperation in aerospace, including joint production of a new wide-body aircraft and a heavy helicopter. Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping will also exchange views on North Korea, Syria, Afghanistan and post-Soviet Central Asia," Reuters cited him as saying.
