Russian LDP leader urges greater cooperation with Taiwan

Moscow, March 21 (CNA) Vladimir Zhirinovsky, leader of the opposition Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), called Wednesday for closer cooperation and exchanges between Taiwan and Russia.  

During an interview in Moscow with CNA, Zhirinovsky said he looks forward to long-term bilateral collaboration on various fronts such as sports, politics, and economics, through the establishment of bilateral associations in a variety of fields.  

Turning to U.S. influence in the region, Zhirinovsky also warned that although the U.S. might seem on the surface to support Taiwan, its real motive is to maximize its own economic interests.
