Moscow, July 9 /Xinhua/ — The 9th China-Russia EXPO, which opened in Yekaterinburg, has already become a calling card of bilateral relations, said Zhang Hanhui, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Russia.

“The EXPO has become a bright calling card of bilateral relations, an important ‘window’ for demonstrating interregional cooperation and has received high praise from the leaders and all layers of society of the two countries,” he noted in an interview published on Wednesday in Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

According to the ambassador, since the first exhibition was held in 2014, the China-Russia EXPO has already been successfully held nine times. In total, about 10,000 Chinese and Russian companies, as well as 1.05 million entrepreneurs, took part in the previous exhibitions. The total amount of agreements concluded reached almost 500 billion yuan.

"Within the framework of the EXPO, a number of cooperation results were obtained that have a broad impact and demonstration value. It can be said that the EXPO has become a "big stage" for the development of practical cooperation between the two countries," the Chinese diplomat stated.

Zhang Hanhui pointed out the symbolic significance of the 9th China-Russia EXPO. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. In May, Chinese President Xi Jinping successfully made a state visit to Russia and took part in the relevant commemorative events. “Holding the EXPO is an important practical measure to implement the agreements between the leaders of the two countries,” the ambassador emphasized.

“Against the backdrop of China and Russia’s joint efforts to promote the construction of an open world economy and bring certainty and stability to global trade, the 9th China-Russia Expo will greatly boost the confidence of regions and enterprises of the two countries in cooperation and promote the high-quality development of bilateral trade and economic relations,” Zhang Hanhui noted.

The focus on regions and the holding of the 5th China-Russia Forum on Interregional Cooperation is an important feature of this year's EXPO, he believes. More than 300 enterprises from 18 provinces, municipalities directly under the central government and autonomous regions of China are participating in this year's EXPO.

According to the diplomat, the planning and design of the exposition and business events of the current EXPO fully reflect the new features and trends of Chinese-Russian trade and economic cooperation. “The exhibits will cover both traditional areas /mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, agriculture/ and new areas /medicine, digital economy, new energy/,” Zhang Hanhui said. –0–
