"We are not just talking about further interaction on Chinese territory. We also plan to foray into the markets of third countries in terms of construction of power units, "Rogozin was quoted as saying.

According to Rogozin, the appropriate legal framework is already being hammered out for the purpose.

He said that the two countries are successfully developing a spate of common projects in this field, such as the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant in China's Jiangsu Province.

Built by the Russian nuclear service and equipment giant Atomstroyexport, the Tianwan NPP was touted by the International Atomic Energy Agency as the world's safest operational nuclear power station. The two sides currently consider the construction of new power units for the Tianwan facility, as well as the construction of a nuclear power station in Harbin.
