Hu's trip, to last from March 26 to 28, will seek to achieve a double objective of improving both political trust and the bilateral economic and trade partnership, according to Li.
Trade between the two powers topped a record US$33.4 billion last year, a 14.7 percent year-on-year rise, said Li.
Hu and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will engage in talks covering a broad range of topics, including improving mutual investment and enhancing cooperation across the fields of energy, infrastructure, forestry and high-tech sectors, Li said, specifying that one of state agreements to be signed will relate to the rail transport of crude oil.
Following their summit next Monday, both presidents are set to issue a document, elaborating on bilateral and political ties as well as global issues such as UN reform, anti-terrorism cooperation, the Iran and North Korea nuclear issues, the Middle East and development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), according to Li.
Li further revealed that SCO members, including China, Russia and some Central Asian nations, will conduct a joint military drill in Russia this year to bolster regional anti-terrorism collaboration.
Following the success of the "Year of Russia in China" in 2006, with close to 300 activities involving over half a million visitors, Hu and Putin will launch the "Year of China in Russia".
The "Year of China in Russia" will feature some 200 events across a range of themes, including for example a Chinese national exhibition, a cultural festival, a business forum and an investment conference.
Li said that the national exhibition would showcase over 200 Chinese
companies covering such sectors ranging from energy and machinery manufacturing,
to household electrical appliances, textiles, information technology,
agriculture, tourism and services trade.
