At this year's St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, China-Russia cooperation took center stage, covering areas such as business cooperation alongside the Northern Sea Route, as well as urban and agricultural development in the Russian Far East. CGTN's Aaron Liu interviews Alexey Chekunkov, Russian minister for the development of the Russian Far East and Arctic, to explore how this partnership is set to bring profound transformation to regional and global economies.

As emerging markets gain increasing influence on the global stage, economic and trade cooperation among these countries has become a hot topic. Liu also spoke to Ben Joubert, director of the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperations, and Hala Helmy Elsaid, Egyptian minister of planning and economic development, to understand the scale of trade and investment among emerging markets and the opportunities for multifaceted cooperation.
