【 摘 要 】

The paper deals with the issue of advancing economic cooperation of Russia, China and Mongolia given the increasing number of political and business contacts among the parties in question in the last few years. A recent formal agreement on developing the China-Mongolia-Russia economic corridor provides the framework for implementing potential joint projects in infrastructure, manufacturing, technology, and service sectors. However, there are also a number of challenges that the Russian authorities face, the most important of which is the relative underdevelopment of the eastern regions of Russia compared to north-eastern regions of China. Current economic relations between Russia and China cannot be considered mutually beneficial: Russia is mostly exporting raw and semi-final products and importing final goods including hi-tech products. The paper points out a few ways in which transboundary cooperation can be established while, at the same time, ensuring economic security of border regions.
