and welcome to the business bulletin president medvedev visit to china this week put the sale on a number of new energy deals then to go see a chanson been drawn out and at least why gas contracts the consent of us still more to do but as medina a question of our reports there's now a greater sense of urgency. china is the fastest growing energy consumer in the world and in russia its neighbors the biggest energy provider it's a business smash this crying out to be made the deals have been a long time in the making finally this week in quest put on the dotted line what was a surprise is that we didn't see reciprocal deals from china you know it's quite clear to russia went down there looking to barter energy and materials exports to china in exchange for some commitment for investment into russia's new industries into infrastructure into technology etc and there was any mention of that

whatsoever gazprom has agreed to supply thirty billion cubic meters of gas annually to china over thirty years starting from twenty fifteen to make it all happen the gas giant also announced it would start building a new pipeline to china next year diversifying its customers is a significant ambition for russia it provides a hedge against a drop in demand from year open in the event of an economic slowdown more kids have a way of going inside. and the reason for growth is so strong in asia right now is because they are buying. centralized economy. policies they are bad on that they decided to go market oriented but russia faces stiff competition to the east most so then in western europe as china also borders the nations of central asia which have considerable gas reserves moreover countries

europe and asia and such as. china and japan. as well as time lost controls. transport from asia to finland. could cover the distance in seven days. at the moment they cannot charge enough money to meet the profitable. are still too small.

in order to balance the cost of travelling in each direction. to be lowered. the rest of our families the course is yes a cargo transport in russia dropping fifteen percent to eleven point five million containers williams on the try and save you in route fill an even sharper thirty percent the recovery of this year has been strong but much student has to be done to make russian real we a true breach between east and west isn't a given due to
