Dmitry Chernyshenko arrived on a working visit to Ningbo, People's Republic of China
On the Chinese side, he was met at the ramp by Deputy Governor of Zhejiang Province Lu Shan, Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the Zhejiang Provincial Government Ren Xianfeng, Deputy Mayor of Ningbo Ye Miao, and Deputy Director of the Department of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China Zhang Dong.
Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the infrastructure of the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, its main vessel types, and its interaction with Russian ports.
He noted that Ningbo is the largest port in the world. It is a strategic location for trade—Chinese President Xi Jinping has visited it eight times.
"Cooperation between Russia and China is developing dynamically today. As Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has repeatedly emphasized, the People's Republic of China is our main trading partner. And we are focused on practical cooperation and concrete results. It's symbolic that in October, the first transit voyage along the Northern Sea Route departed from Ningbo. Overall, the development of this route is a promising area for cooperation. It's no coincidence that the Intergovernmental Commission for Preparing Meetings of Our Prime Ministers has a separate subcommittee specifically focused on the Northern Sea Route," the Russian Deputy Prime Minister stated.
Dmitry Chernyshenko added that the port, as a major hub, allows our countries to optimize routes, ensure reliable logistics, and minimize costs and delivery times.
The Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan is the world's largest by cargo throughput and a leader in China's implementation of smart logistics management technologies. It serves over 600 ports in 190 countries, ensuring stable international connections.
According to the port administration, the total cargo handling volume exceeded 1.2 billion tons in 2023 and 1.37 billion tons in 2024. The main cargo categories include oil, coal, ore, grain, liquid chemicals, and containerized goods.
During his visit, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister will also participate in the 29th meeting of the Russian-Chinese Commission for the Preparation of Regular Meetings of Heads of Government in Ningbo, assess the infrastructure, and meet with the leadership and students of Zhengjiang University in Hangzhou.
