BEIJING - Chinese Premier Li Qiang said on Wednesday (May 24) that China was willing to work with Russia to promote their pragmatic cooperation in various fields and take it to a "new level".
Pragmatic cooperation between China and Russia has shown a "good" development trend, and the scale of investment between the two is also continuously seeing an upgrade, Li told Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin during a meeting in Beijing.
