MOSCOW - Russia on Tuesday hailed the development of its relationship with China, saying it recorded consistent and steady progress, as well as remarkably enhanced legal basis.

The two countries enhanced energy cooperation, as well as coordination on the international arena, which served the two side 's interests, it said.
