Major Russian delegation takes part in Harbin Trade Fair in China

HARBIN (China), June 14. /TASS/. About 400 representatives from the government and companies of Russia have arrived in China to take part in the 29th Harbin International Economic and Trade Fair (Heilongjiang province). "We believe that with an active participation of China and Russia, this [annual] fair will become a major platform for advancing the One Belt, One Road initiative," Heilongjiang Governor Wang Wentao said at the opening ceremony on Thursday. The organizers say the task of the fair is "to ensure effective cooperation of China’s government and business circles with other countries through an efficient distribution of resources and financial capital, the use of technologies and personnel potentials". The fair will feature a wide range of products - from tableware, food, wine and furniture, musical instruments, jewelry and pieces of art to 3D printers and helicopters. The three major trajectories of Russian-Chinese cooperation to be in the focus of attention are cross-border trade-economic cooperation at the regional level, cooperation in the sphere of forest management as well the implementation of Russian construction projects with the participation of China. Tourism and sports have also come into the focus against the backdrop of the Russia-hosted FIFA World Cup. Specific attention will be paid to investment and integration of industrial projects. "We had few contacts with the Russian business previously, and during this fair we plan to outline trajectories for cooperation. There can be many of them," the president of the Guangdong Chamber of Investment and Commerce, Wang Changping, told TASS. A forum for cooperation between the twin cities of Russia and China will be held within the framework of the fair on June 16. About 400 representatives from government and business circles of 25 Russian regions will take part in the forum, including from Moscow, the Amur, Chelyabinsk and Yaroslavl region, the Jewish Autonomous Region and the Krasnoyarsk region. About 1,400 companies, including almost 500 companies from 38 states and regions of the globe take part in the Harbin fair. Read more
