Sputnik comes to you live from Beijing, where Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin is holding talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday, May 24.
The head of the Russian government arrived in the PRC for the Russian-Chinese Business Forum, where he met top executives and visited a petrochemical lab run by China's oil & gas giant, Sinopec. A number of bilateral agreements are expected to be signed as a result of the talks.
