Kazan /Russia/, August 21 /Xinhua/ — The Russian-Chinese economic forum “Sprouts” gives a serious impetus to the implementation of investment projects. This was stated by the head of the Investment Development Agency /IDA/ of the Russian Republic of Tatarstan Taliya Minullina on the sidelines of the 3rd international forum “Sprouts: Russia and China — Mutually Beneficial Cooperation”, which was held in Kazan on August 18-19.
"We cooperate in various directions. Every time we organize a round table with Chinese companies on this platform. They come up with various initiatives, and these initiatives are then reflected in business. Therefore, this forum definitely gives a serious impetus to mutual enrichment and for there to be some real projects," she noted, answering a question from a Xinhua correspondent.
According to T. Minullina, last year, 30 agreements were signed within the framework of the forum "Sprouts", all of them have been implemented. As an example, she cited the opening of the Center for Assistance to Investments of Chinese Enterprises in Kazan. "Last year, the Union of Chinese Entrepreneurs in Russia proposed opening such a center here. It is very important for us that we are opening it this year," she added.
Speaking about cooperation between Tatarstan and China, the head of the TIDA called it very good. She noted that the key area is logistics. Given the advantageous geographical location /at the intersection of East and West/, the region is actively developing transport and logistics infrastructure. “We have built two large logistics centers in Tatarstan and are now at the stage of developing these centers. Three federal highways pass through us,” said T. Minullina.
She emphasized that the regional leadership pays great attention to providing guarantees to investors. “We support projects from the very beginning, a manager is assigned to each project. We create a “road map”, determine the deadlines. All this is monitored. The main thing is to turn to the investor, so that he knows that we are on his side, we are ready to help,” she explained.
In addition, the head of the TIDA highly appreciated the humanitarian cooperation between Tatarstan and China. She said that the leading universities of Kazan have double degree programs with universities in China. “Our partnership in the field of education and youth is the foundation for our future joint projects,” she emphasized, adding that sports and cultural exchanges are developing well.
“The people of Tatarstan and China have one thing in common – they are hard workers. That is why we are meeting here at the forum,” concluded T. Minullina. –0–
