Interviewed before his set out for visits to Malaysia and Thailand, Putin was quoted Sunday by a Russian official source saying that Russia must consider its economic interests and ecological balance, as well as the development prospects of the east Siberia and the Far East, when choosing a best route for constructing a line sending out oil form east Siberia.

Cooperation within the APEC framework will facilitate the development of east Russia, meanwhile, rapid development in the Asia-Pacific region also needs natural resources from Russia, Putin said. Russia hopes to conduct close cooperation with its Asia-Pacific neighbors and partners and play an active role in the development of the region as a whole.
