The opening ceremony of the new pavilion site was given by the General DIRECTOR of the Russian Export Center, Veronika Nikishina.
"Each province of CHINA is a separate market, the entrance to which must be worked out purposefully and consciously. We see the potential for growth in agricultural exports to Heilongjiang Province, and we note the interest of local authorities and businesses in increasing the supply of high-quality Russian products. The new pavilion site will help our manufacturers establish contacts with the local business community, increase their recognition and find new buyers," Veronika Nikishina noted.
