Rogozin: Russia, China to Sign Agreement in October on Long-Haul Plane Production

GORKI (Moscow Region), September 8 (RIA Novosti) – Russia and China plan on signing an agreement in October on a technical project for long-haul wide-bodied aircraft as a means to substitute foreign purchases, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said Monday.

“In October, we should sign as the United Aviation Construction Corporation a technical project with our Chinese colleagues on long-distance wide-bodied aircraft. The market in China is large enough to make this production cost efficient,” Rogozin said during a meeting with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
