BEIJING Oct 13 (Reuters) - Russia and China expect to sign a framework agreement on the supply of Russian gas to China during Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's visit to Beijing on Tuesday, the head of state-run gas giant Gazprom (GAZP.MM) said. Alexei Miller told reporters that Russia could potentially supply about 70 billion cubic metres of gas per year to China.
