Moscow, December 18 (Xinhua) – Chinese companies will contribute to the development of Russian-Chinese business relations throughout 2025. This was stated by Zhou Liqun, Chairman of the Union of Chinese Entrepreneurs in Russia, speaking at a New Year's reception for Russian and Chinese business circles held in Moscow on Wednesday.
"I thank our Chinese companies for their active participation and contribution to Chinese-Russian business relations," he noted, presenting the union's 2025 report.
Zhou Liqun noted that this year's priority was strengthening the union's team and improving the quality of service provided to Chinese companies. He explained that in June, the union established a new automotive industry committee, which included 13 Chinese automobile companies. Currently, the union consists of eight industry committees and two regional branches (in St. Petersburg and Kazan).
To serve and protect the interests of Chinese companies, the union has established cooperation with the Russian Ministry of Economic Development and signed agreements with 10 Russian regions. "The union's goal is to protect the legal rights and interests of its members. This work has been ongoing since March 2019, when the Legal Support Center was established jointly with the Commissioner for the Protection of Entrepreneurs' Rights," Zhou Liqun emphasized.
In 2025, the Union supported more than 100 events aimed at promoting trade and economic cooperation, including the Russia-China business dialogues at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the Eastern Economic Forum, the first Russian-Chinese forum in Khabarovsk, the Digital Industry of Industrial Russia conference in Nizhny Novgorod, and the Sprouts forum in Tatarstan.
“These and other events help strengthen business cooperation and give new impetus to bilateral trade and economic relations,” Zhou Liqun said.
He added that the union works not only on economic issues but also on humanitarian ones. For example, in 2025, the organization supported the "Chinese New Year in Moscow" festival, as well as a photo exhibition commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Zhou Liqun expressed confidence that Chinese-Russian business cooperation will only strengthen in 2026, especially after the introduction of mutual visa-free travel. He also assured that the alliance will actively work within the framework of the China-Russia Cross-Formation Years.
