Abstract

Since 2013, economic cooperation between Russia and China has significantly strengthened. This cooperation has been driven by the two sides' shared desire to establish a long-term strategic partnership, particularly in light of the Belt and Road Initiative. This trend has contributed to an unprecedented increase in trade between the two sides, in addition to deepening cooperation in the financial and banking sectors, as well as in the energy sector. This economic rapprochement has helped the two countries further coordinate their positions, strengthening their positions and roles in the international economic system.
