Chen Yuan, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made the remarks during the 20th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
Addressing a sub-forum with the theme of "Financing Growth, Trade and Investment," Chen said China is willing to work with Russia and other countries to deepen cooperation in trade, investment and finance so as to put world economy on a stable growth track.
He also met with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets, and the two exchanged views on cooperation in such fields as education, health care and sports as well as sub-regional cooperation.
