China And Russia Reportedly Plan To Build One Of The Largest Seaports In North Asia
- Sep. 11, 2014, 3:21 AM
Beijing (AFP) – China and Russia will build one of the largest ports in northeast Asia on Russia’s Sea of Japan coast, reports said, in a further sign of the powerhouses’ growing alliance.
The seaport is expected to be able to handle some 60 million tonnes of cargo a year, China’s state-run People’s Daily Online reported late Wednesday — comparable to Britain’s busiest port Immingham or Le Havre in France, according to European Commission statistics.
The new facility will be located in far eastern Russia, just 18 kilometres (11 miles) away from the Chinese border. The region is also close to North Korea.
Chinese and Russian leaders inked a deal on the port at May’s Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) in Shanghai, the report said.

China’s 2013 outbound investment reaches record high
China’s outbound direct investment (ODI) reached a record high of $108 billion, to become the world’s third-largest investor for the second consecutive year.
Investment grew by 22.8 percent from last year, while global outbound investment went up by 1.4 percent; the Chinese news agency Xinhua cites a report from the Ministry of Commerce (MOC), National Bureau of Statistics and State Administration of Foreign Exchange.
The increase was mostly driven by leasing and business services, finance, mining, wholesale and retail, and manufacturing, which together accounted for 83 percent of the investment.
The largest deal was the purchase by the Chinese oil company CNOOC of Canada’s Nexen at $14.8 billion, Fang Wei, the deputy head of the Department of Outward Investment and Economic Cooperation of MOC said.
By the end of 2013, 15,300 Chinese companies established 25,400 ODI projects in 184 countries and regions around the world.

Argentina to get $1bn in currency swap with China before end of 2014
Argentina will receive the first tranche of yuan worth up to $1 billion in a massive currency swap with China before the end of this year. The deal will boost the troubled economy’s foreign reserves.
It comes as part of a loan worth $11 billion signed in July by Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping during hisLatin America tour– shortly before the country fell into its second default in 12 years.
The Central Bank of Argentina announced that the value of the first disbursement will be between $500 million and $1 billion, according to La Nacion newspaper.
Once it’s got the money Argentina has two options – it could convert the yuan into to dollars in Hong Kong or London, or it could hold the yuan as part of a package of currencies comprising the international reserves of the Central Bank – as Chile and Bolivia have done.

Indian Ambassador: ‘Our Privileged Partnership Covers Every Area of Human Endeavor’
© RIA Novosti. Alexei Kudenko
Mr. Raghavan spoke to Rossiya Segodnya about Putin’s upcoming visit to India, plans to trade in national currencies, and his views on the Ukrainian crisis.
President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India is scheduled for December. Indian Ministry of Foreign affairs earlier stated that during the visit a road map of our strategic partnership will be signed. Apart from traditionally strong cooperation in military and atomic sectors, will the road map reveal some new areas of cooperation?
Pundi Srinivasan Raghavan: The special and privileged strategic partnership between India and Russia covers virtually every area of human endeavor; political, economic, energy, defense, space, science & technology, education and culture. When our two leaders meet at their annual Summit meeting later this year, I expect they would review our cooperation in all these areas and articulate their vision for the future development of our bilateral cooperation over the next decade. We are working on new areas of cooperation in many of the sectors that I have mentioned. There are particularly exciting opportunities in our economic cooperation, to enhance our trade and investment exchanges to the level that is commensurate with the complementarities between the economies of our two countries. Of course, at the same time we expect that our cooperation in defense and nuclear energy will also be further strengthened through decisions taken at a number of bilateral meetings in the run-up to the Summit and at the Summit itself.
India has shown a lot of interest in joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Will it happen in the nearest future? On what stage are the negotiations concerning India’s joining SCO?
Pundi Srinivasan Raghavan: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is an important regional mechanism for cooperation in the areas of economy, regional security, counter-terrorism, energy, transport connectivity, culture etc. India has been associated with the SCO as an observer since 2005 and we have stated that we would be willing to play a larger role in the organization as a full member. The SCO Heads of States are meeting in September and we are hopeful that the organization will reach a consensus on its expansion process and procedures.
India has also expressed an intention to sign an agreement on economic cooperation with customs union of Eurasian Economic Community. When will India sign this agreement? On what terms?
Pundi Srinivasan Raghavan: India has very close relations with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan – the members of the Customs Union. Our trade and economic cooperation with all three countries are showing an upward trend. We believe that a closer engagement between India and the Eurasian Customs Union – which will soon become the Eurasian Economic Union – will be mutually beneficial and will provide further impetus to our efforts to create a quantum jump in our economic cooperation. We have already commenced a dialogue to look at all aspects of this engagement and to recommend the future course of cooperative action.
