(MNI) London - Addressing the 'Russia Calling' business forum in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin states that 'Russia is ready to cooperate with China in all sectors, including military technologies.' Adds that Russia has 'trustful relations' with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Such comments will garner notable focus from Western gov'ts, especially with EU leaders meeting with President Xi presently as part of the EU-China summit.
