Bloomberg wrote about his chat with a TV host from the UAE. Putin mentioned that Russia and China want to help create better world cooperation. He also shared that his granddaughter speaks Chinese really well.
A top Chinese government worker came to the forum to represent his country. Western reporters called the meeting Russia's biggest business event of the year. Some business people think they might find new chances to work with Russia. Donald Trump's friendlier approach toward Moscow has entrepreneurs curious about opportunities. Many investors still face problems because of sanctions that make payments difficult.
