Russia-China relations: What next & else after ESPO, Yamal LNG and Power of Siberia?
Practical information
Expanding Russia-China energy relations represent one of the most important global energy market developments in the past ten years, and Chinese investments in Russian energy projects and companies have been growing. The strategic dimension of Russia-China relations has gained additional attention as Russia's relations with the West deteriorated, and as China laid out its One Belt One Road Initiative. This energy breakfast discussion aims to assess these energy, economic and political ties, their implications and draw perspectives for their future development.
