MOSCOW, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Russia and China will remain strategic partners in the long term regardless of the outcome of the upcoming Russian presidential election, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.
"I am fully convinced that the development of relations with China enjoys a national consensus in Russia, and irrespectively of the outcome of the (Russian presidential) election campaign, Russia and China will remain strategic partners for an extensive historic perspective," Putin told Xinhua during his annual press conference.
Putin reiterated that China's Belt and Road Initiative is perfectly compatible and can be incorporated with the development of the Eurasian Economic Union and Russia's proposals on a broad partnership in Asia.
He highlighted the two countries' major joint projects including projects in the Arctic, liquefied natural gas plants, high-speed railway, high-tech sector and space sector, especially the promising prospects of potential cooperation in developing the Northern Sea Route.
"If we guarantee the use of it all year round, and I hope we may reach this goal quite fast, the circulation of articles between Asia and Europe will be more economically feasible than through the existing routes... Both Russia and China are interested in this," said Putin.
Speaking highly of China's fast economic growth, Putin said that decisions adopted at the latest national congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) reflect a positive agenda of China's development, which coincides with Russia's pursuit in its own development.
"The innovative clauses in the Charter of the CPC indicate that China is striving to be stable while guaranteeing development and to improve the life of its people on the basis of this development," he said.
It is extremely important to Russia because China is Russia's major trade and economic partner and its strategic partner "in the broadest sense of this word," he said.
In the first three quarters of 2017, trade volume between China and Russia has reached 61.4 billion U.S. dollars, increasing by 22.4 percent on a year-on-year basis.

ATHENS, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos praised Sino-Greek ties on Tuesday when he paid a visit to an exhibition of ancient Chinese science and technology at Herakleidon museum just opposite the Acropolis hill in Athens.
The exhibition "Ancient Chinese Science and Technology" is for the first time hosted in Greece as part of the Greece-China 2017 Year of Cultural Exchanges and Cooperation in Creative Industries.
From Sept. 23 until April 29, 2018, visitors of Herakleidon museum can have the chance to appreciate 90 exhibits from the China Museum of Science and Technology (CMST) in Beijing.
The Greek president toured the museum on Tuesday, and praised Chinese civilization's achievements in technology and science.
Speaking to Chinese Ambassador in Greece Zou Xiaoli and the museum's founder and president Paul Firos who welcomed him at the exhibition, he noted how impressed the Westerners were when they discovered Chinese civilization centuries ago.
"What one of the greatest Western philosophers at the time, Pascal said when China was discovered, is: I wonder who to believe, Moses or China," he said, referring to a classic remark made by 17th century French scientist and thinker Blaise Pascal.
On his part, Zou said when the Chinese studied in the 17th century western mathematics and geography originating from Greece, they also acquired valuable knowledge and furthered the development of science and technology.
The CMST exhibition hosted at the Athens museum covers disciplinary fields from mathematics, physics, chemistry and astronomy to agricultural science, medical science, pharmacy and engineering technology.
Through models visitors learn about pioneering Chinese inventions, such as the first seismograph (132 A.D.), ancient farming tools, the first wheelbarrow, which was constructed a century, approximately, before the equivalent European one, and many others.
The Greek president showed in particular interest in the demonstrations of paper making, printing, stamping, as well as in silk weaving, Dimitris Pappas, a Greek physicist who was his guide on Tuesday told Xinhua.
Pavlopoulos comes from Kalamata, a city in southern Greece, which has a long tradition in silk production in Greece.
When he received a model of a 3rd century BC Chinese loom from ambassador Zou on behalf of CMST the Greek president said he w.
