Abstract
After the deteriorated relations with West, Russia’s aim was to pull
out a strategy with global agenda. In pursuit of Russia’s power ambitions in
Eurasia and for containing US unilateralism, Russia forged an alliance with
China. Therefore, the strategy of Greater Eurasia came into being by Russia
experts to integrate Russia with Europe and Asia. However, Greater Eurasia

Meanwhile, China and Russia developed strong bilateral strategic partnership
to contain the US led unipolarity and establish a multipolar word order. Here

signed the agreement for integrating Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and
Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB). This paper is qualitative in nature and aims
to discuss the fundamentals of China Russia rapprochement since 2014 and
elaborates the strategy of Greater Eurasia where China is an indispensable
partner with Russia. The research also highlights the prospects for
conjugation of two Eurasian projects i.e. EEU and SREBalong with the
opportunities and challenges. Moreover, it has been discussed that the corona
virus pandemic didn’t let the two states to minimalize their ties rather Beijing
and Moscow further exacerbated their diplomatic, defense and informational
cooperation. The paper suggests that it is important to develop mechanisms of
development between China and Russia in order to make this integration
