Moscow, July 8 /Xinhua/ — Moscow pays special attention to cooperation with China in all areas, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, head of the Moscow Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure Maxim Liksutov said in an interview with Xinhua the other day.
“China is one of Russia’s key strategic partners, so Moscow pays special attention to cooperation with China in all areas,” he emphasized.
As M. Liksutov noted, the Russian capital and China are cooperating in the development of transport. Moscow authorities are closely studying the Chinese experience in creating high-speed highways within the country. The experience of developing subways in Chinese cities is also important for Moscow. “In addition, we are inspired by the incredible scale of development of ground-based urban electric transport in the PRC,” the capital official said, adding that the city of Shenzhen (Guangdong Province, South China) serves as an example for Moscow, where since 2017 only electric buses have been used in urban transport.
According to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow, an important area of cooperation with China is the development of intelligent transport systems, including unmanned technologies. Thus, in 2023, Beijing became one of Moscow's first international partners within the framework of the UrbanTransportData analytical platform, designed to collect, analyze, visualize and publish transport indicators.
M. Liksutov reported on regular contacts between representatives of the Moscow transport complex and colleagues from the largest cities of China. In June last year, during the visit of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin to Beijing, an agreement was reached to create a joint working group on transport, which has already held two meetings.
In addition to transport, as the Xinhua source noted, Moscow actively cooperates with China in the sphere of trade. M. Liksutov cited data according to which the Russian capital accounts for more than 42 percent of the structure of the all-Russian trade turnover with China. The greatest demand is for industrial goods: radio navigation equipment, pumping equipment, electric motors and generators, carbon fibers and much more. “In addition, the residents of China highly value food products produced in Moscow. For example, bread, confectionery, cookies, ice cream, carbonated drinks and wheat flour,” the vice-mayor added.
He said that the Mosprom center has been operating to support export-oriented capital companies since 2019. The center's specialists analyze target markets for manufacturers to determine the most effective strategy for entering them, help with finding foreign counterparties, conducting negotiations with potential buyers abroad, and also organize the participation of Moscow companies in international exhibitions and business missions.
M. Liksutov invited Chinese companies to the Russian capital. “We are interested in the work of Chinese companies in Moscow, especially in the areas of microelectronics, electric transport, robotics, pharmaceuticals, space research, unmanned transport and telecommunications. The partnership may concern both the establishment of trade and economic cooperation, and the localization of production or the development of investment projects,” he explained, assuring that the Moscow authorities will provide the necessary support measures to Chinese partners. –0–
