Russia is willing to further expand oil export to China if there has oil surplus after meeting the needs of Taishet-Nakhodka pipeline, the Russian President's assistant Igor Shuvalov told press on March 29.

Russia will firstly extend its oil pipeline to Skovorodino, a border city with China, from where Russian oil will be transmitted to China, but to get the oil China needs to build a pipeline to Skovorodino by itself. If there is still oil left upon oil export to China, as Russia promised, remaining oil will be transferred to Nakhodka, said Shuvalov.
