On November 3, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council met with Russian President Mishustin in Hangzhou. During the meeting, Mishustin stated, "The China-Russia relationship is at its highest level in the two countries' centuries-long history of exchanges, and it continues to develop comprehensively despite illegal Western sanctions and various external obstacles."
Important information and topics discussed during the meeting by Russia:
1. Russia is willing to further expand agricultural product supply to China. In the first nine months of this year, the trade volume of agricultural products increased by 15% year-on-year, and Russian food is becoming increasingly popular among Chinese consumers.
2. Trade between the two countries has completely shifted to settlement in their respective currencies.
3. The "Agreement on Promotion and Mutual Protection of Investment" signed by the two countries on May 8 in Moscow will come into effect on December 1.

4. Regarding bilateral tourism cooperation, China previously announced a visa-free entry policy for Russian citizens, which will be valid until September 2026.
