MOSCOW: Russia and China have agreed on supply terms for Russian beef which could help simplify trade between the two countries, the Russian agriculture safety watchdog said on Tuesday.
Brazil, the world's largest beef exporter, suspended beef exports to its No. 1 customer China after confirming two cases of"atypical" mad cow disease in two separate domestic meat plants earlier this month. The Russian watchdog and China's customs administration signed a protocol on terms for checks, quarantine and requirements for veterinary certificates for Russian beef, Rosselkhoznadzor said.
Supplies of beef from Russia to China are small, with only two Russian producers at present allowed by Beijing to supply their product. Interfax news agency said Russia supplied 3,660 tonnes of beef to China in the first quarter of 2021. Russia, a beef importer itself, banned certain cattle and beef imports from two Brazilian states after confirmation of the disease in the South American country.

Philippines supports Australia nuclear sub pact to counter ChinaThe Philippines is backing a new defence partnership between the United States, Britain and Australia, hoping it can maintain the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific region, a view that contrasts sharply with some of its neighbours. Known as AUKUS, the alliance will see Australia get technology to deploy nuclear-powered submarines as part of the agreement intended to respond to growing Chinese power. 'The enhancement of a near-abroad ally's ability to project power should restore and keep the balance rather than destabilise it,' Philippines foreign minister, Teodoro Locsin, said in a statement on Tuesday.
