Heilongjiang Province in northeast China is launching a string of promotional events this year aimed at Russia, its biggest trade partner.

"Heilongjiang has mapped out a comprehensive work plan in a bid to promote all-around strategic partnership and neighborly cooperation with Russia," said Wang Limin, vice-governor of the province.

The promotional events will aim to further boost the province's flourishing trade with Russia, especially in view of "China Year in Russia" being observed this year.

Heilongjiang will organize a special show during the China National Exhibition in the Russian capital Moscow at the end of this month, showcasing the province's signature commodities and top export enterprises, especially in terms of exports to Russia. 

"This will enhance the image of Heilongjiang's enterprises in Russia," the vice-governor noted.

Heilongjiang will also focus on greater exchanges with Russia in the high-tech sector, as the competitiveness of the province's enterprises has been sharpened through trade with it.

Also, a Heilongjiang Week will be held in Moscow later this month.

During that week, the province will strive to promote the 18th China International Fair for Trade and Economic Cooperation (Harbin Fair) to be held in June, and some investment projects especially tailored for Russian investors.

Trade seminars with Russian investors to promote projects located in China-Russia trade areas, as well as economic cooperation and export-processing areas will also be part of the events of the week.

Hafei, a top Heilongjiang auto brand, will offer test drives of its products in Moscow, as an advertising exercise as well as to seek more cooperation in the sector.

Further, a Sino-Russian High-tech Cooperation Seminar will also be held in the Russian capital, as Heilongjiang attaches great importance to exploring the immense potential in this field and aims to take it to a new high.

The province also plans to expand its collaboration with Russia in the electronics and equipment manufacturing sectors.

A photo exhibition will be part of the trade promotion events, depicting the traditional friendship and long history with Russia. This will include a special show displaying the fine arts skills of Heilongjiang people.

"Heilongjiang Day" will also be observed in seven regions and districts in Russia, including the Amur Region and the Jewish Administrative District.

Top Heilongjiang officials will meet with their counterparts in Russia to deepen friendship and trade partnership.

"The events will consolidate Heilongjiang's trade status in Russia," Wang said.
