YEKATERINBURG, July 8. /TASS/. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday he believed that the scale of China’s participation at the international industrial trade fair Innoprom in Russia's Urals city of Yekaterinburg indicated a high level of strategic partnership between the two nations. Speaking with Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang, Medvedev expressed his gratitude for China’s participation in the forum as a partner state. "This reflects a very high level of relations between Russia and China, characterised as strategic partnership and interaction," he said.
