NEARLY 300 exhibitors and a 5,000-member procurement delegation from Russia took part in the 10th China-Russia Expo, cementing the event’s status as the largest and most influential bilateral business platform for business cooperation between the two countries.
The five-day expo, which concluded on Thursday, has attracted more than 1,500 enterprises from 46 countries and regions to its exhibition area of 55,000 square metres in Harbin, capital of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, according to the organizers. For Evgeny Bazhov, chief representative in China of the Russian Export Centre, the fair offered a hectic schedule of business talks. The center is committed to helping Russian companies enter the Chinese market.
On its first day at the fair, the centre held 104 business matchmaking sessions and engaged with 43 Chinese companies in targeted trade negotiations, with potential cooperation valued at 3.9 billion rubles (about US$55 million), said Bazhov. He noted that China’s visa-free policy had greatly eased travel for many members of the Russian business delegation, proving particularly useful in attracting those attending the expo for the first time.
The expo has offered a glimpse into the deepening business cooperation between the two countries. Over 500 new technologies and products made their debuts at the expo, spanning areas including intelligent equipment, digital security, green building materials and advanced energy storage.
