KAZAN, Russia, March 28 (Xinhua) -- China and Russia will
further enhance their cooperation at the regional level, a promising and
important part of the strategic cooperation between the two countries, visiting

"Recent years have witnessed a good momentum for the

industries, the Chinese president said.
