Russia, China sign four billion dollars of trade deals MOSCOW (AFP) - China and Russia signed four billion dollars' worth of trade deals on Tuesday during a visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao focused on securing new energy sources. For Russia, China has always been one of the most important economic partners in the world, and throughout recent years our business ties have steadily grown and strengthened," Putin said, speaking at the opening of China's biggest-ever trade fair in a foreign country.
The presidents oversaw the signing of 21 contracts, including an agreement by Russian state oil company Rosneft to supply jet fuel to China and long-term export contracts for Russian steel products..

Among the biggest contracts was a 460-million-dollar (345-million-euro) agreement by Russia's Novolipetsk Steel to supply 94,000 tonnes of steel to Chinese electrical parts maker Tebian Electric Apparatus Stock from 2007-2011.
Nearly 200 Chinese companies showcased products at the fair, which Putin used to underline Russia's interest in developing its own high-tech sector with Chinese help.
"We are particularly interested in exhibitions devoted to innovative and information products, aviation, aeronautics and energy, the nuclear industry," Putin said.
China's chief interest in Russia, meanwhile, is securing more oil and gas to meet its huge energy needs.
The Chinese president took a step in that direction on Monday by securing an agreement for increased deliveries of Russian oil by rail.
Those deliveries should jump from the 11 million tonnes shipped in 2006 to 15 million tonnes per year, Russian Railways head Vladimir Yakunin told reporters.
