Dubai, July 24, 2024: “Russian-Chinese cooperation in the field of oil supplies is unique for Eurasia,” said Igor Sechin, Executive Secretary of the Presidential Commission for the Strategy of Development of the Fuel and Energy Complex and Environmental Safety, CEO of Rosneft. He was speaking at the 6th Russian-Chinese Energy Business Forum (RCEBF) held in Moscow. Last year, Russia exported 107 million tonnes of oil to China. Also last year, China imported 34 billion cubic metres of natural gas and more than 100 million tonnes of coal from Russia.
