country to halt its development. And in these conditions we together with our
counterpart – the People’s Republic of China – sign an agreement on promotion
and mutual protection of investment. This shows that the level of our relations
is very high, so that the external threats only unite us. We are building our
relations on the principles of friendship, reciprocity, non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states and absence of double standards, as emphasized the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin
