Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said Thursday that China hopes the China-Russia oil pipeline project be carried out as early as possible.

At a routine press conference, Kong said the project is one of the realistic and major projects of cooperation between the two countries, and the leaders of the two countries have also acknowledged this through joint statements and formal documents.

Bilateral cooperation in energy is very important for the two countries, Kong said.

He said this project is one of the major projects of cooperation between the two countries in energy and economic fields. "Smooth implementation of this project will not only bring huge profits to both countries but also promote bilateral strategic partnership of cooperation."

The planned oil pipeline from the Siberian city of Angarsk to Daqing in northeast China, has been discussed for nearly a decade, but has recently been postponed. Japan hopes that Moscow build a pipeline from Angarsk to the port of Nakhodka, facing Japan.

The Russian side has not made a decision yet.
