President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of enhancing energy cooperation with Russia to ensure global energy security and promote clean energy. He noted significant increases in energy imports from Russia, highlighting the resilience of their partnership amid geopolitical challenges. Both nations aim to expand collaboration in nuclear power and low-carbon energy initiatives.
President Xi Jinping underlined on Tuesday China's readiness to forge an even closer energy partnership with Russia to promote the development of clean and green energy, ensure global energy security and safeguard the stability of industry and supply chains.
Xi highlighted energy cooperation between the two countries as a key cornerstone of bilateral pragmatic cooperation and a positive force in upholding global energy security.
In the face of external risks and challenges, China and Russia enhanced communication and coordination and pushed forward major cooperation programs, which demonstrated the strong resilience of their energy cooperation and illustrated the broad prospects of the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era, he said.
Confronted with a series of risks and challenges, companies from China and Russia have achieved new progress in energy cooperation, despite the fact that geopolitical tensions have had a negative impact on the balance of global energy supply and demand, Dai Houliang, chairman of China National Petroleum Corp, said during the forum.
During the first three quarters of this year, bilateral trade between China and Russia exceeded $136 billion, with their energy trade reaching almost $60 billion, accounting for more than 40 percent of the total, he said.
During the first nine months of this year, China's imports of crude oil from Russia increased 8.8 percent, while those of natural gas increased by 49 percent and coal imports rose by 12 percent, and major energy cooperation projects have been proceeding steadily, including the eastern route of the China-Russia natural gas pipeline and the Yamal LNG and Arctic LNG 2 projects, said Dai.
He suggested that the two countries should enhance their energy cooperation in the years to come, in order to further guarantee the secure supply of oil and gas while actively exploring green and low-carbon energy cooperation.
Major cooperation between the two countries includes units 7 and 8 of the Tianwan nuclear power plant in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province, and units 3 and 4 of the Xudapu nuclear power plant in Huludao, Liaoning province.
An industry analyst said energy cooperation between China and Russia is expected to be further enhanced this year.
"Oil and gas trade between Russia and China will gradually increase and the current geopolitical tension will only accelerate the process," said Luo Zuoxian, head of intelligence and research at the Sinopec Economics and Development Research Institute.
"Energy cooperation between the two sides is complementary, as Russia is a major oil and gas exporter while China is a major energy importer," he said.
