The eighth Russia-China EXPO will be held at the International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Harbin from 17 to 21 May. EXPO is included in the list of major events held in China in connection with the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The Russia-China EXPO is an effective platform for discussing issues of trade, economic and investment cooperation and for expanding contacts between the regions of Russia and China. The event is organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation. The organizers on the Chinese side are the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China and the People's Government of Heilongjiang Province. The operator of the international exhibition is Business Event LLC.
"In accordance with the tasks set by the leaders of our countries, trade and economic cooperation between Russia and China continues to develop rapidly and reaches new levels not only in terms of quantity but also in terms of quality. I am convinced that the Russian-Chinese EXPO will contribute to strengthening this positive trend and expanding the cooperation ties between our countries," emphasized Alexey Gruzdev, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
The EXPO will traditionally feature stands of Russian and Chinese companies, expositions of entities forming the Russian Federation and the provinces of China. This year's partner regions of the exhibition are Moscow and Zhejiang province.
The Russian stand will cover an area of more than 3,500 square metres and will feature leading Russian companies from such sectors as engineering, fuel and energy, IT, agro-industrial complex, light industry and folk arts and crafts, finance and banking, transport and logistics.
16 regions of the Russian Federation have announced their participation in the EXPO: the republics of Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Sakha (Yakutia), Komi, Khakassia; Sverdlovsk, Arkhangelsk, Tver, Amur, Penzensky, Astrakhan regions; Primorsky, Khabarovsk, Krasnoyarsk, Sakhalin regions; Moscow. On the Chinese side, 13 regions are participating in the exhibition - Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Guangdong, Sichuan, Hubei, Gansu, Henan, Shandong, Zhejiang, as well as the Xinjiang Uygur, Tibetan and Ningxia Hui autonomous regions.
The trade programme will focus on creating new growth points for economic cooperation between the two countries and on promising joint projects in various socio-economic areas. The Expo's business programme includes 16 events - forums, roundtables, seminars, panel discussions, including events focused on inter-regional, trade and economic, investment, scientific and technical cooperation, strengthening ties in construction, industry, forestry, metrology, standardisation, logistics and youth entrepreneurship.
The key event of the first day of the EXPO will be the fourth Russian-Chinese Forum on Interregional Cooperation.
"The renewal of contacts between business circles has played a major role in the restoration and further development of trade and economic ties with China. In 2023, the Russia-China Business Forum was held in Shanghai and the practice of holding the Russia-China EXPO, the largest bilateral congress and exhibition event, was renewed. We are confident that the eighth EXPO will give an even greater impetus to strengthening Russian-Chinese economic relations," said Vladimir Ilyichev, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.
In addition, a business networking exchange will be organized to provide an opportunity to directly establish relationships with leading Chinese companies and regions, to conclude partnership agreements with fast-growing Chinese technology companies and professional buyers from different regions of the country.
The upcoming exhibition in Harbin will be an exceptional event in the years of crossing cultures of Russia and China, as well as an important step for the development of bilateral relations, the promotion of mutually beneficial projects in priority areas and the strengthening of the course of strategic cooperation between the parties.
An extensive cultural programme with the participation of national creative groups is planned as part of the Russian-Chinese EXPO.
