MOSCOW, July 23Russia hopes to see increased direct investment from China in its energy sector, which is characterized by high investment returns and no risk of return on equity capital, the official said Secretary of the Commission under the President of the Russian Federation on the strategy of development of the fuel and energy complex and environmental safety and head of Rosneft Igor Sechin.
“We hope to increase Chinese direct investment in the Russian energy sector, which is characterized by high investment returns for investors and the absence of the risk of a return on equity capital,” he said during his speech at the VI Russian-Chinese Energy Business Forum. 
Sechin noted that China's direct investment in Russian energy and related industries will help strengthen energy security and develop mutually beneficial cooperation between countries.
«Such investments could create a significant synergistic effect, because Russia is one of the few countries that consistently invests in the development of traditional energy, and China over the past few years has turned from an importer to an exporter of capital Thus, last year China’s announced direct investments in new projects abroad exceeded a record 160 billion dollars,” Sechin added. media-type=»ar16x9″ data-crop-ratio=»0.5625″ data-crop-width=»650″ data-crop-height=»366″ data-source-sid=»rian_photo» title=»Grand gas tanker Elena» class=»lazyload» width=»1920″ height=»1080″ decoding=»async» />
