By Fu Jing in Moscow and Liu Jia in Brussels Russia and China are keen to extend their close relationship from strategic cooperation and energy projects to advanced technology such as nano and space sectors, which can enrich China's proposals of "One Belt, One Road" proposals, said the chiefs of Russia's tech giants. Anatoly Chubais, former deputy Prime Minister of Russia and now chairman of the Executive Board of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (Rusnano), said his company has already identified a Chinese partner to set up a joint fund to explore cooperation in high-tech sectors. Vasily Belov, Senior Vice-President of Innovations development of Skolkovo Foundation in Russia, said Chinese high-tech businesses are welcome to invest in Russia and his foundation is well prepared to invite Chinese companies to attend science and technology fairs in Moscow next year. "We are identifying businesses in high-tech cooperation between China and Russia, which could better bolster the two country's regional development proposals," said Belov in an interview with China Daily during President Xi Jinping's visit to Russia, the second leg of his three-country tour from 5-12 May.
