The export of energy from Russia to China will increase by 16% by the end of the year, Russian Energy Minister Nikolay Shulginov said on Wednesday.

“In total, (energy) exports to China and Mongolia increased by 15-20%, and to China will probably grow by 16% by the end of the year,” Shulginov said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 broadcaster.

Shulginov said earlier that the Russian Ministry of Energy was expecting a 19-20% growth in energy exports to China and Mongolia, Sputnik reported.

Participants at the Russia-China Energy Business Forum in November said that Moscow and Beijing were looking to further increase energy cooperation at a time when sanctions have drastically reduced Russia’s energy links with the West.
