Oct 15 (Reuters) – Russia President Vladimir Putin said that he sees China’s One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative as a desire to cooperate on the global arena, Russian news agencies reported on Sunday.

“We see that some perceive it as an attempt by the People’s Republic of China to crush someone under itself, but we don’t see this that way: we just see a desire for cooperation,” Russia’s news agency cited Putin as saying.
