BEIJING, November 25. /TASS/. Russia plans to work with China to develop the Northern Sea Route in order to create additional opportunities for supplying energy resources to China, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said at the 7th Russia-China Energy Business Forum in Beijing.

"Joint development of the Northern Sea Route with our Chinese partners is of particular importance. This route can create additional opportunities for delivering energy resources to China," he said.
