Harbin: a new vector of trade, economic and investment relations development

Recently, the large-scale VIII Russian-Chinese EXPO successfully concluded in Harbin, with the opening ceremony attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The leaders of Russia and China outlined new directions for cooperation between the two countries.

The executives, representatives of regional branches, and members of the RAUIE also actively participated in the eighth Russian-Chinese EXPO 2024. During the visit to China, representatives of the RAUIE not only worked within the business program but also held targeted negotiations with local companies, visited the region's largest enterprises and the Heilongjiang Industrial Park, where they discussed with the management the possibility of creating joint ventures and developing trade, economic, and investment cooperation.

• Harbin has a long history of cooperation and mutual exchanges with Russia, and the history and culture of the city have absorbed many Russian traditions. 
• Harbin is one of the most important platforms for promoting Russian culture in China and developing humanitarian cooperation. Heilongjiang is the province in China closest to Russia, with around 30 ports for entry into the Russian Far East. 
• Harbin is a key transport and distribution hub for the transportation of goods to the Russian Far East, where two important railway routes, "Harbin-Russia" and "Harbin-Europe," pass through. 
• The region is known for its developed infrastructure, agriculture, and heavy industry, which allows for cooperation between our countries in trade, economic, and investment relations.

Heilongjiang Industrial Park and its advantages 

The Heilongjiang Industrial Park is located in the heart of the New District of Harbin (the only functional zone at the state level in China where Russian-Chinese cooperation takes place). It covers an area of 40,000 square meters, with a building area of 240,000 square meters.

Currently, the park includes the following directions:

• high technologies (digital economy, artificial intelligence, high-tech manufacturing, biotechnology),
• modern finance (9 resident banks, financial services, insurance business, etc.),
• Russian-Chinese cooperation platform,
• cultural, creative, and artistic projects.

Advantages of being a resident in the Heilongjiang Industrial Park: 

• The park's residents include not only local enterprises, but also companies from the Yangtze River Delta region and Russia. New forms of cooperation between enterprises have already been formed here. 
• The park has a professional service team, rich infrastructure, and sufficient resources for implementing projects of any complexity. 
• The Heilongjiang Industrial Park is focused on the Russian market and is ready to develop cooperation with corresponding Russian scientific research institutions, manufacturers, trade, financial, and consulting companies (projects in the fields of artificial intelligence, high-tech equipment manufacturing, digital finance, and services are of particular interest). 
• In the near future, not only business, but also humanitarian relations between our countries are planned to be developed. The opening of the Russian National Pavilion is planned on the park's territory, where it will be possible to showcase the history, culture, customs, and traditions of various peoples of Russia, as well as create a permanent exhibition of Russian products.

We, as the Partner of the Heilongjiang Economic Industrial Park, are ready to provide comprehensive support to entrepreneurs looking to establish their presence in the industrial park. We invite trading and manufacturing companies, agricultural enterprises, scientific and technological research institutes, as well as representatives from the financial, insurance, and banking sectors to cooperate.
