"We always support Russia in hosting this major economic forum, and as far as I know, in the recent years we have always sent the high-level delegations to it. This year too a high-level delegation from China will participate in the forum," Hua said during a regular press briefing.
She did not specify who would head or be members of the delegation.
The spokeswoman also expressed hope that the forum would become a platform for further development of effective Russian-Chinese cooperation.
