HONG KONG -- While the leaders of China and Russia agreed to deepen ties and forge closer economic cooperation in key areas such as energy at their recent summit, Chinese state-owned oil company executives have maintained a low profile toward Russia.
Top executives from Sinopec, PetroChina and CNOOC -- the core listed units of China Petrochemical Corp., China National Petroleum Corp. and China National Offshore Oil Corp. (also abbreviated as CNOOC), respectively -- held news conferences for annual results this week, the first time the events were held in person since the COVID-19 outbreak.
