Medvedev declared during an international law forum that Moscow aimed to develop its  ties with Beijing and implement the initiative on the connection between the Silk Road project and the Eurasian Economic Integration, Sputnik News reports.

"This is a positive experience, and it makes us to review how our relations with the countries of the European Union, the United States and a few other countries are developing, since last year had been rich in an international legal outlook on life under so-called sanctions."

In addition Medvedev stated that such kind of plans by Russia are conditioned by the sanctions from the West.

 "I can only say that in the near future we will have to make a decision on either prolonging these responsive measures or not prolonging them. It’s clear that our actions, and I can say this straightforward, will be equivalent and be based on the actions of our partners from other countries."
