On the afternoon of May 15, on the eve of the 10th China-Russia Expo and the 35th Harbin International Economic and Trade Fair (the "Harbin Fair"), a government delegation led by Alexei Sambuevich Tsydenov, President of the Republic of Buryatia, Russia and Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Buryatia, paid a special visit to the Fujian General Chamber of Commerce in Heilongjiang Province and the Xilong Sub-venue of the Harbin Fair. The delegation held a symposium with representatives of some entrepreneurs from the chamber, engaging in in-depth exchanges on investment cooperation, trade cooperation, and other fields. At the Xilong Sub-venue of the Harbin Fair, Tsydenov and his delegation conducted an on-site tour of various themed exhibition areas, including ceramic stone, hardware and plumbing, decorative materials, home decoration building materials, home furnishings and appliances, landscape and garden anti-corrosion wood, high-end international home furnishings, and the supporting Northeast Asia Logistics Distribution Center. During the visit, Tsydenov showed particular concern for the current status of enterprises in the park in conducting trade with Russia and highly praised Xilong's efficient operation model and mature business ecosystem.
At the Fujian General Chamber of Commerce in Heilongjiang Province, Tsydenov and his delegation gained an in-depth understanding of the chamber's founding history and organizational structure. They expressed appreciation for the chamber's commitment to optimizing its member service system and precisely serving enterprise development, and inquired about the investment intentions and specific cooperation needs of some key enterprises in the chamber regarding the Republic of Buryatia. At the symposium, Wu Qinghe, President of the Fujian General Chamber of Commerce in Heilongjiang Province and President of the Harbin Xilong International Trade and Logistics Park, introduced that in 2023, the city of Harbin in Heilongjiang Province inaugurated the China-Russia Home Building Materials Trade Park at Xilong, laying a solid foundation for local enterprises to carry out cooperation with Russia. He noted that Buryatia has vast territory and unique resources, providing broad space for cooperation between Chinese and Russian enterprises. In the next step, he will organize a delegation of entrepreneurs from China's Heilongjiang and Fujian provinces to conduct field inspections in Buryatia to promote the implementation of cooperation visions.
Tsydenov provided a detailed introduction to Buryatia's resource endowments, industrial characteristics, and investment and business environment. He pointed out that Buryatia has a superior geographical location, extremely convenient transportation, and abundant mineral and energy resources. In particular, it has a deep industrial foundation in fields such as helicopter manufacturing, metal cutting technology, and jade processing and trading. He sincerely invited the Fujian General Chamber of Commerce in Heilongjiang Province to organize entrepreneurs to conduct field inspections in Buryatia, promoting cooperation between the two sides in areas such as trade circulation, park construction, and mining. During the meeting, entrepreneurs from the Fujian General Chamber of Commerce in Heilongjiang Province also exchanged and discussed cooperation projects with members of the Buryatia delegation in fields such as mineral development, rough stone trade, import and export of aquatic products, cross-border trade of anthracite coal, and herbal biomedicine. Wu Qinghe also presented Buryatia with a national intangible cultural heritage gift—Putian wood carving—as a precious token of the friendship between the two sides.
This exchange has built a solid bridge and platform for further strengthening local economic and trade exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation between enterprises in China and Russia.
