Grand opening of the Made in Russia festival and fair took place in Harbin

The event is attended by over 100 domestic exporters of food, beverages, cosmetics, jewelry, and other goods. The companies represent 37 regions of the country. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko: "I am pleased that the Made in Russia festival and fair has already become a good tradition. The format of such festivals has gained favor of Chinese citizens and entrepreneurs, and products from domestic manufacturers are very popular in China." Veronika Nikishina, General Director, Russian Export Center: "More than 500 Russian companies and two million Chinese citizens have participated in the festivals. Over two and a half years, more than 2,000 business meetings have been held, and contracts worth over 15 billion rubles have been signed." Alexey Repik, Chairman of Delovaya Rossiya: "We need to digitally integrate our government systems with major platforms to provide agricultural exporters with access to a market of 1.5 billion consumers. The second thing is logistics. We believe it is essential to develop multimodal port-to-port and dry port services at the border, which will create a seamless logistics process. And thirdly, we need to create new financial instruments." The Chinese province of Heilongjiang, and its capital Harbin, is one of the main centers of trade between Russia and China. 70%+ of its foreign trade turnover is with Russia.
