“Indeed, several years ago we set a task with President Xi Jinping to reach the 100 billion mark of our trade turnover. I want to tell you that, you know about this, we not only reached this milestone, but even in the difficult conditions of the pandemic 2020, we kept this bar, and it was, there was a slight disruption in trade turnover, a slight decrease, but all- yet it amounted to 104 billion. And I think that in the next few years, as we agreed, we wanted by 2024, then in general we can reach 200 billion”, – Putin said.
