Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin arrives in China Monday bidding to strengthen a relationship forged by Russian oil exports to the world's largest developing economy.

Russia, which this year sealed Chinese oil contracts valued at $100 billion, is now negotiating an agreement that would make its neighbor OAO Gazprom's biggest customer for natural gas. China currently buys no Russian gas.

The two countries are deepening ties based on mutual economic gain. Bilateral trade totaled a record $56 billion in 2008, a six-fold increase in six years, according to Russia's Federal Customs Service.

"Political ties are very good," said Fyodor Lukyanov, the editor of Moscow-based Russia in Global Affairs magazine. "There's never been such closeness in position on major international issues, and there are no more territorial disputes."

China and Russia, the world's third- and ninth-largest economies respectively, hold two of the five permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council as well as membership in the nascent BRIC group that also includes India and Brazil.

Putin, 57, is set to meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao in two days of talks that start Tuesday. He'll also attend a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a regional group that also includes four former Soviet republics in Central Asia.

Oil Deal

Russia agreed in February to supply China with oil for 20 years in return for a $25 billion credit to state oil company OAO Rosneft and the government's oil pipeline monopoly OAO Transneft. The total value of oil accords signed with Chinese companies this year amounts to about $100 billion, the Russian government said in a statement released before Putin's trip.

Transneft plans to finish the first segment of its East Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline this year, enabling Russia to begin sending the fuel directly to China. Oil and other mineral products account for 56 percent of trade, with Russia currently making fuel deliveries by rail and through a pipeline that passes through Kazakhstan.

Gazprom, which aims to become a global energy company beyond its traditional markets in Europe, plans to build two gas pipelines to China that might one day deliver as much as 80 billion cubic meters annually, or more than half its current European exports. Gazprom and China National Petroleum Corp. last month initialed an accord in advance of Putin's visit.
