CHINA has no plans to work with Russia on high-speed railway projects in far eastern Russia, Wang Zhiguo, vice minister of railways said yesterday.
Wang was responding to questions concerning Sino-Russian high-speed railway cooperation at a press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature.
He Huawu, chief engineer of the Ministry of Railways, also said China was not planning to upgrade the 8,000-kilometer railway between Beijing and Moscow into a high-speed one.
China and Russia signed a memorandum of understanding on developing high-speed railways in Russia in October last year, laying the foundation for further cooperation, said Wang.
Apart from Russia, more countries are seeking cooperation with China on high-speed train projects, including the US, Poland, Saudi Arabia and Brazil, Wang said.
