KAZAN /Russia/, Aug. 18 /Xinhua/ — The 3rd international forum "Sprouts: Russia and China – Mutually Beneficial Cooperation" opened in Kazan, the capital of the Russian Republic of Tatarstan, on Monday. More than 10,000 people are taking part in the event.
The business program of the forum, which will take place from August 18 to 19, includes about 100 events, including more than 60 business sessions, during which participants will be able to discuss issues of economics, finance, industry, education, culture, investment, transport and tourism.
The Head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov in his speech at the opening ceremony emphasized that the forum "Rostki" is one of the important events in cooperation between Russia and China, uniting delegates, experts and partners from both countries. "Russia and China have been developing strategic bilateral relations based on mutual understanding and respect for many years," he noted.
According to the head of the region, Tatarstan pays great attention to cooperation with China. R. Minnikhanov especially noted that the development of business and tourist ties is facilitated by direct air service between Kazan and Chinese cities, thanks to which one can fly directly from the capital of Tatarstan not only to Shanghai, but also to Sanya.
Consul General of China in Kazan Xiang Bo, in turn, stated that the forum "Sprouts" continuously transforms Chinese-Russian agreements reached at a high level into practical results of interregional cooperation. Over the 3 years of its development, the forum has become an important platform for promoting Chinese-Russian interregional cooperation, effectively promoting the socio-economic development of the regions of each country and playing an increasingly important role in bilateral relations, the diplomat stated.
“I am confident that, thanks to our joint efforts, the Rostki forum will undoubtedly make an even greater contribution to promoting the deepening and practical implementation of Chinese-Russian interregional cooperation,” the consul general added. –0–
