China has said it is willing to forge a closer partnership with Russia on energy issues to ensure global energy security.

President Xi Jinping made the announcement just as the G7 grouping of nations prepares to impose new measures on Russia's oil exports.

State broadcaster CCTV reported his comments, made in a message to the Fourth China-Russia energy forum.

"China is willing to work with Russia to forge a closer energy partnership, promote clean and green energy development and jointly maintain international energy security and the stability of industry supply chains," Mr Xi reportedly said.
