Earlier in the day, Chernyshenko met with Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui to discuss the implementation of plans and projects outlined by Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their talks in Moscow earlier in the month.
"The governments of Russia and China were instructed to prepare and adopt a plan on the development of key areas of the Russian-Chinese economic cooperation until 2030, which will be a 'roadmap' for practical cooperation between our countries over the medium term. The work on a draft of the plan has already begun," the deputy prime minister said during the meeting.
Chernyshenko and Zhang also discussed the schedule of upcoming contacts between the heads of the governments of the two states.
During Xi's official state visit to Russia from March 20-22, the Russian and Chinese leaders signed a joint statement on their plan to develop key areas of Russian-Chinese economic cooperation until 2030.
Later in the month, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin stated, presenting the government's report in the State Duma, that the countries would soon approve the so-called "2030 Plan" on the main areas of their joint work.
