up towards organizing a very serious. international. organization of a regional scale we have been doing the same with the e.u. and with the shyness silk road initiative. and this is why i believe this is a very important steps towards constructing relations such an innovation and this is all part. of our trend towards increasing trade with china it's over. eighty billion dollars and over the last year we've seen an increase in trade turnover over the first half of this year and i think we can achieve the trade turnover of one hundred billion dollars. mr putin. how would you

assess the ceo's ability to see and its potential to operate now that it's expanded and i would say as an all members and maybe some prospects of further expansion well speaking of the c.e.o. and its current format it's very effective that's. something i have no doubts about i understand what you mean by this africa c was this ability to operate. there are sometimes issues between countries neighboring countries that require it of communication between the leaders of these countries this is very basic and expected and this is why the as c.e.o. exists it's a platform to solve issues like that and just like i've said on many occasions the as c.e.o. was first created to solve some minor or big. border issues between china

and third. and its neighbors. and all of these issues have been resolved that we have signed an agreement on. on the borders with china and there have been negotiations for shawty years before we finally signed this agreement and the c.e.o. was instrumental in actually achieving this agreement but yes we'll still have some other problems with the number of other states but this is why we have the c.e.o. to strive towards solving those issues and this is why i welcome what we've done i welcome this expansion of the as c.e.o. you by including in china and india and pakistan. and i. am sure the other countries will also

use this organization to to solve. problems of mutual interest. as for further expansion we have agreed that the current structure is optimal for the moment we need to see how the organization works in this expanded format you are correct in saying that. which is because this was just the first meeting with india and pakistan supporters are patient we need to see how it works out we need to see how effective it is in the long term and then we will make further steps for further expansion of the organization. yes it's on the political resume and southern. russia channels i missed the putin. station there is this drama unfolding around the g. seven summit in quebec. regarding russia's possible return to the g.

seven. how can you say about mr trump's statement and other people's statements about this possible return of russia into the g.'s seven weeks because. we have already overcome. what we are already their c.e.o. is much better than the g seven in some respects well as for returning to the g seven we have never really left it you know because we will be happy to see anyone in russia in moscow as for the africa see the effectiveness the but it is possible with them not only of the. but on the. parity it's going to.

have will shoot him down the sooner the purchasing power parity indeed the c.e.o. in this respect is better even than the g seven he refused on the air so of course per capita the g seven countries are more wealthy budgets the commies or the c.e.o. . combined they are larger. then the g seven and the population is almost half of the planet now i'm. not sure when it i need to get more details about. what's happening with the g seven right now but we all understand that there are internal disagreements and problems within the g seven but that's ok because when you see it what's happening within the e.u. for example there are some disagreements within that organization as well some

countries are less eager to sign some agreements than others this is normal this is to be expected. there's nothing to be ironic about it's ok but there's other thing that i want to draw your attention to which is i believe is more important than that much more important this emotional turmoil what i'm talking about is as far as i know the us president said. that the u.s. is looking at all possibilities for regulation i dish no regulation you know an exchange of. cars coming into the u.s. market and this is something that can clearly affect economic interests of some countries especially european countries let's see. see how this unfolds but. this can be a very consequential for the world economy. are you sure we can also know that

there is another organization where almost all of the countries the as c.e.o. the g seven countries meet to discuss their. come on issues and that is the g twenty and for talk about the c.e.o. again. i like to emphasize that i. give up because of apart from of the issues. related to fighting terrorism and ensuring security and these were the key issues we've discussed we also have reaffirmed and this is something mr surgeon pink has also said that we have reaffirmed our readiness our willingness. included in that we need to go with all the rules of trade that exists.

in the current world in the current global economic system and this is a very statement that will help stabilize our work in this area and our cooperation in this area please the floor and the record and i guess what i'm very cosmonauts would you ask news agency interest let me go back to the. issue at the end of the summit because i agreed on a communique away they called on russia to stop destabilizing the situation. and the world what do you need. to see because you can you comment on this statement. which is was the result of the just seven no i don't want to do that i don't think it's my responsibility to comment on everything that's happened within the g seven as for these so-called destabilizing efforts. as you previously there on this one as you know everyone was very we have on express solidarity with

our london. after the unfortunate events or of what happened and solve. this now they. but this lead to nothing we really are so it's see there's solidarity but it's not unfounded it's brains based on nothing willing to stop just talking and imagining things we need to go to actual for it's actual issues related to corporation. decision that occurred when. they keep talking past i don't even have a chance to say with. mr putin yesterday you didn't talk to mr poroshenko the president of ukraine. have you heard. that because i don't think he is. interested in implementing the men's can groom and also what's the situation with

the journalists visions king is going to be is there going to be. an exchange well since. it was grains initiative to join us and gauge in this talk. i believe they're interested. in a piece in the settlement we have discussed to be sure you get the issues would usually so if you. have been where you are with a free people that are held and they so that country we have talked about in the journalist of themselves most of us in scale but out what didn't want to make and estrangements right now so as not to interfere with the bro says. my question is not with regard to. the agenda.

mr won the stanley cup have you seen the game have you called him. in america there is this tradition that when the hockey players come to when the games come to the white house they believe the same as possible. in russia and you are going to mean these players well we. know that it always talks a lot but. unfortunately has a contract with a different country which is maybe it's good for his own career but now he finally has won the stanley cup and i congratulate him on that this is a great achievement for any team any hockey team as for meeting him. on a regular basis. so there is no need to organize i don't think more because with meds even before he won the stanley cup.

if you could have it would have good. news paper there were reports that austria that is ready to hold the us russia summit where you could meet with donald trump can you. get a firm that this is happening or you're going to meet mr trump everyone is waiting for that while he was president has said on many occasions that he believed that this is necessary to have such a meeting and i can confirm that yes this will happen during our last telephone conversation. and huge. worry is about a new. spiral of the arms race and so we require more conversations more conversations more. between our

specialists and as soon as the u.s. as you as the us are ready. to meet me then you can we can meet on it. if you will in many countries because they don't want to host such a meeting some european countries including. i would like to do that. but. i think this is. not someone important where this happens if you can get them to what's important is that this meeting is actually full of meaning and actually help solve selp solve something. her present city china. my question is. for the sally. i was just. heard about.

that. declaration and the. common destiny. how how is it implemented within the c.e.o. and how important is its what's its importance for global governance. well this is all related. to the original idea by mr sitting been. regarding the silk road and its economic dimension as you know with support this initiative in aston who have signed the agreement on. deepening our ties between china. and the e.u. it would this is a new step towards that if you go and during our meeting i have said that.

during my visit in china. but we have signed. we can use the technical cannot technical and economic documents show. of our cooperation and you can be doing. this is all part of our monumental work within the region and the channel corp organization and we have a ripple as confirmed by the international monetary fund. which. our bureau. the c.e.o. countries in purchasing power parity are stronger than will the g seven countries. and if we go back to the. economic growth rate of the region and if we remember that this is where they are much higher than the rest of the world. we

can see clearly that this is a very good thing for all of our countries i have just talked to the prime minister of india he has had incredible growth rates seven point seven percent now we have thankfully some more economic growth in russia which is of course and comparable to what's happening in india but it's still good it's still increasing and it will increase i am positive of that and for the global economy as a whole national it's very good we have reaffirmed our commitment to free trade and fighting against protectionism. and this is very important for the world economy and for all the countries thank you it was not just and one final thing which is. before we and this meeting i look at i'd like to express my words of gratitude towards the people of china and china's leadership mr says enjoying

himself to you for this score deal we visit for. so good to see it in the region during my during my visit in china everything was very professional. but the woman at the highest level. was always. also very friendly. and very effective thank you thank you so much for. wrapping up with a lot of comments there from the eighteenth annual as c.e.o. of the shanghai cooperation organization summit the in the north eastern china shines on province and king valley that was of the russian president vladimir putin of course making some comments to the press there are just give you a couple of highlights of what he mentioned one of the questions from the journalists referring to the drama at the g. seven summit in canada right now made a comment about russia being reinstated two of the g. seven what did putin have to say about that he said well the c.e.o.

is much better than the g seven and in many respects as for returning putin said russia never really left it russia continues to work with his g seven partners. is better with purchasing power something other things up per capita of the g seven for example the g seven small wealthy but the economies of the c.e.o. combined a larger than the g seven on the population is almost half of the planet another question he was asked the g seven at the end there was basically a communique where they combined leaders of the g seven they signed a communique calling on russia to stop the stabilizing the world they were referring to the script crisis from the u.k. and basically putin said that everyone expressed solidarity with london after the script fair but this lead to nothing it's all based on nothing he said he said putin said stop imagining things do actual issues make actual efforts for cooperation referring to his professional partners in the west and just briefly

here one other question from the press reports that austria is ready to hold a u.s. and russia summit where where putin could meet with trump and putin agrees that both he and trump believe the meeting is important in fact over their last phone call together they did agree to meet a trump is reportedly worried about some sort of renewed the arms race among other things. putin saying as soon as america is ready we can meet though many countries want to host such a meeting they're eager to host however the meetings according to putin must have meaning and solve serious issues well more comments for you and more reaction of feedback from the c.e.o. at the eighteenth annual event on r.t. dot com for the meantime we are back in just a moment. forman are sitting in a car when the phipps gets shot in the head. all

four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because this did not shoot around a corner. joining me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. it is good to have you with us today i just four days left now until the start of the biggest event in football this year of course the fifo world cup here in russia our coverage of the tournament will be delivered by some of the game's biggest

russia against egypt and this feeling to be to me our best interest is to finish second in the group well. to win the group be. a local show. totally portugal. because i want to finish second in the world maybe the home team russia is going to play against their domestic spain see a scene from this will finish first. to finish second. look. what a surprise come on most of the exchange cycles. and in group d. a single fellow who finished first. this one is going to be hard to play well for an african team. so will be brazil in the name of teach to go on holiday so switzerland who finished second i'm still in the money and what you need to hold . and then in the group germany has to win. i think
