Port trade expo opens in NE China

Xinhua, August 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

An international port trade expo opened on Monday in Suifenhe City along China's border with Russia in the northeast province of Heilongjiang.

The expo, hosted by the China Chamber of International Commerce, drew over 400 companies from China and six other countries including Russia and the Republic of Korea.

Li Haitao, vice governor of Heilongjiang, said the Suifenhe port trade expo will promote trade and cooperation between China, Russia and other northeast Asian countries.

Suifenhe is a major port along the Sino-Russian border. In April, a key development and opening-up zone was established in the Suifenhe-Dongning area.

Customs statistics show more than 6.8 billion yuan (about one billion U.S. dollars) worth of cargo passed through Suifenhe from January to June, accounting for 24 percent of Heilongjiang's total trade volume. Endi
