Russia and China now account for one-third of global energy production, while bilateral trade has increased more than 50 times over the past 30 years, Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin said at the Russia-China Energy Business Forum during the Eastern Economic Forum.

Key points from Igor Sechin’s remarks at the Russia-China Energy Business Forum during the Eastern Economic Forum:

The Northern Sea Route is becoming an increasingly important energy corridor amid instability in the Middle East, with China receiving priority access
Russia and China together account for around one-third of global energy production, while China’s energy consumption last year exceeded that of the US and Europe combined by 40%
Russian supplies provide around 20% of China’s coal imports, while Russia remains a key supplier of enriched uranium for China’s nuclear industry
Russia is China’s largest oil supplier, accounting for around 23% of China’s oil imports, while more efficient Russian oil purchases have generated over $27 billion in economic benefits for Beijing
Russia-China settlements are now conducted almost entirely in ruble and yuan, reducing reliance on Western currencies
